Just Friends

Lately, I have not been in touch Though, I like talking to you - much. The reason, which I'll share with you Is embarrassing, but true. I have a brain and two good eyes. So, I mainly see, and I'm mainly wise, But a small part of me is not so smart. I'd like to think it is my heart. One thing I can clearly see - Your old enough, to my daughter be. You have beauty that is very rare, While I'm old, skinny and have no hair. Worse yet - my limitations are many. Things I do, places I go - hardly any. All this is fine - 'cuz we're just friends, But this is not quite where this poem ends. When I see you in a pretty dress, The brain inside my head works less. All the things above which I should know Turn inside my brain to dough. I don't want you to see a silly fight Between dumb Dave wrong, and smart Dave right. I don't think it would be very cool To make you put up with such a fool. Well, anyway, forget what I said About my eyes, and about my head. Excuse me if my behavior weirdly tends, And you and I can just be friends.
