Not Quite In the Plastic Bag

The cashier guy was eyeing her
In ways enthusiastic.
She thought that he was cute as well;
His smile was just fantastic.

She took her ponytail apart,
Removing the elastic;
And struck a sexy pose, a move
A bit extreme and drastic.

Alas, it didn’t work because
He uttered, quite sarcastic.
“Calm down there, miss – and would you like
A paper bag or plastic?”
