The New Girl a Work

The new Girl at Work (The Coward Speaks)

Should I feel a shamed? 
I want to kiss the new girl at work 
but I don't know her name.
Her understated beauty 
is the first page of a book
I can't put down.
Man... just learning her name 
will be my favorite sound.
She's the one I want, and need.
The treasure of her femininity
is the center of my greed.
But I am unknown to her.
I have yet to say hello.
At work I’m always
a good-natured fellow.
So, why am I afraid of
telling her who I am?
On the outside,
I feel like a youngster 
trying to be a man.
On the inside,
I 'm like Tarzan of the jungle
beating on my chest.
And she's an attractive female
I need to impress.
I've been alone to long,
my soul calling for a mate.
But the coward in me
won't ask her out on a date.
So, I feel a shame
I 'm to cowardly to even 
ask for her name.

I have gone out with beautiful women who had trouble getting dates because guys were afraid to ask them out. I always found the best pickup line was to simply say hi. The rest comes naturally. I enjoyed your fictional account DJ man.

Listen closely. (so you can hear everything new in the office, likes and such, name maybe without asking even) Bring cookies,bagels or? be "party nice" around the office. Cheerful people are noticed. Be yourself, she will find your name... Stand out because you are great at your job, you are nice to EVERYONE and helpful, and always pay attention to every word she says... :) good luck romeo... Excellent poem.. well written. Inspired and maybe too true at times for all of us. Ann

Dear Ms.Ann thank you for trying to help. But I wrote this poem in character a long time ago. I am happily married to my sweet heart Tabitha. I am also a former Dee Jay so I never had any trouble with the ladies. Please read my short story "I came to play"
