Poem 10- If you behave like that ... i'll just like you even more

If you behave like that… I’ll just like you even more

When people shout too loud it usually makes me want to shhh them
When people swear too much it makes me feel uncomfortable
When people make intellectual joke I don’t understand it usually fills me with dread that I should have to respond with something as highbrow
But with you, I just want to impress
I just want to entrance you
To convince you that you are interested in me
To show you how special you are

So, even though for years people have told you to be quieter,
To be less out going, talk slower, dumb yourself down,
I’m pleased you didn’t, because those are the reasons I like you
Because you’re different.

Something I knew as you skipped through Regent’s Park, arms filled with flowers, the daffodils I picked with you in mind.

If you behave like that, I’ll just give you more flowers, just give you more kisses, just like you even more.

    But now you understand our nerd/computer jokes so you can be in the loop.
