Wholesome New Girl
The new girl was wholesome, old-fashioned, and loving.
We were intimidated by her open spirit and cunning.
She rode around town on a bike followed by birds and bees.
Trying to make friends with everybody. Good grief! Oh, please!
What is her name? Someone asked. Who cares? I said.
She has a dog in her basket, look, he has a tiny bed!
I did not want to like her. I was determined to not actually.
But she threw me a compliment, which completely changed me.
I was suddenly following her, as were robins, and wrens.
We all wanted a piece of her, to be her friends!
She gave out such marvelous vibes, she was wholesome and fun!
Now thank goodness, as far as friends go, she calls me one.
