Dear Dan
Dear Dan, I sit here every day in class
behind you at this desk, but barely can
I concentrate on what the teacher says,
for you are such a wonderful young man.
Since Junior high, I’ve liked you very much.
I felt entranced the first time that I saw
your sweet cute face and hair blonde like the sun.
But there’s a deeper reason I’m in awe.
It’s obvious your mind is very sharp.
I think you see I am studious too.
I bet we have a lot of things in common.
I want to know so much more about you.
And so I’m asking you out on a date.
I think you like to roller skate like me.
Can we meet at the rink on Saturday?
Your answer I’m awaiting eagerly.
*Dedicated to one of my several school crushes, Dan Olsen.
He never did talk to me and I was a bit too shy in those days
to initiate a conversation with him.
