Timothy Hicks Poet Lyric

Four-Eyed Charmer

I wear a white buttoned shirt
And my friends call me four eyes
But I don't care, just slowly walk away
And give 'em my gang sign

Don't bother with my appearance
Cause I'm the king of the chess team
Most guys got brawns, when it comes to logic
I can win before you take a seat

And I'm a four-eyed charmer
But a real straight A lover
What girl wouldn't wanna fall all over me
Hold my bag on the boat when I'm sick at sea
I'll give this life a mighty heave
Confidence you wouldn't believe
Whet girl wouldn't wanna fall all over me
Give me oxygen when I forget to breathe

Some gits got British accents
To impress any American gal
I speak elvish and clenon
They got their mansion royale

Some guys eat snails a la mode
And only settle for the finest wine
I can foresee myself in Paris
Throwing tomatoes at the mimes

A true heart you'll discover
Under this four-eyed charmer
What girl wouldn't wanna fall all over me
Hold my bag on the boat when I'm sick at sea
And I'm taking a leap of faith
That could either destroy or save
What girl wouldn't wanna fall all over me
Give me oxygen when I forget to breathe

Now I finally got someone
A lovely gal to cheer me on
When I play videogames
All night to the crack of dawn

Now I finally got someone
Who loves to rub when
I get a burning lobster tan
On my mayonnaise skin

Now I finally got someone
Who thinks my wandering eye
Is actually kinds cute
At least now I'm not so shy

I am the geek with four eyes
A noble prince in disguise
With a girl who courageously fell for me
As the titanic sinks I'll be your Lenny
And I bet it all on a whim
Now I'm the one with everything
With a girl who courageously fell for me
Her smile augmented when I stood on one knee



NOTE: So I feel ridiculously silly now, but I already posted this one a long time ago... must have slipped my mind... oh well :/

Kajika Fowling October 26, 2014 at 12:22 PM It made me laugh, it made me cry. It was awesome and cute all at the same time. Timothy Hicks October 26, 2014 at 11:33 PM Thanks Fajika! One of my quirkier pieces, but I had a lot of fun writing it. Happy you were entertained and thanks for stopping by!

Richard Lamoureux October 24, 2014 at 8:09 AM Ha ha, you rocked this one Tim! I love this tale. Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 10:47 AM Glad you enjoyed! Had to write something for the little guy :)

Andrea Dietrich October 21, 2014 at 4:17 PM love the mayonnaise skin line! Timothy Hicks October 22, 2014 at 10:58 AM Couldn't think of a better way to express someone who is "sickly white". Lol.

Andrea Dietrich October 21, 2014 at 4:17 PM hmmm, I thought I'd seen all your stuff and I just don't remember this one, Tim. It's a very entertaining one!! So tell me, is it based in any truth? Timothy Hicks October 22, 2014 at 10:59 AM Not really. I was just thinking of all the movies where the typical guy gets the typical girl... where's the movie where the nerd prevails and gets the girl of his dreams??
