Notes About The Poem

Tell Me Please

How does one capture a female heart?
When all her male suitors
Are all over her like stink on an ape?

How do I profess such undying love?
That nothing would stop my romantic advances
Other than the gun she has aimed at my heart

From under her window sill
So I have stated, so I have sung
I would climb the highest mountains
I would cross the stormiest of seas
I would trek across the most arid of deserts
I would forage through the densest of rainforests

Sadly dear I can not come over tonight
As it’s raining out
But my heart still cries out for you, you see
Justin Beiber loves songs echo in my ears
As I long for you tonight

My phone rings and brings me back to reality
It’s your best friend Jenny calling me
I am so sorry
We have to break up
Jenny just kissed me over the phone
She’s awesome

Nor mine, but as I was tossing around some laughter at young love figured might as well play it to the hilt!! Thanks Paul!
