silly little poem for a girl i kinda like

I've never been that good at math
going only as far as geometry in high school
I guess you could say I'm wading in the shallow end
the kid's side of man's proverbial gene pool

and I was never good at shuffling cards
I never quite got that down pact
as hard as I tried, the cards just lied
in a uneven, unorganized stack

you should see me hit a golf ball
I take to it like I'm using a baseball bat
I swing and swing, but don't hit a thing
And the golf ball never leaves the driving mat,

And have you seen my dancing?
I seen more rhythm in a epileptic patient
My arms just flail, as my legs just fail,
I couldn't buy good moves, even if I used next month's rent

so what I guess I'm trying to say is,
there are things I just can't achieve
and no matter how much I practice and try
I just accept it and force myself to believe

But there is one thing I do quite well
one thing I know just how to do
I may not be a pro at anything else
but I'm pretty good at liking you.

Hmmmmmm.... who's the girl? You sound like John Cusak in 'Say Anything' which said he wasn't much good at alot of things, but was good at liking this girl. The irony.

CP: Hmmm...who is the girl? Maybe a figment of my imagination?

Jane: Hmmm...I had no idea he did that. What irony I had the same thoughts as him.

Apryl: Nah, but I'm training to be a cage fighter?

So I am at Coscto the other day and I see piles and piles of sweatsuits and I say to myself..."I have never bought one of these but that Roberto guy wears them so they must be cool because he hung with M & M girl and she would not date an uncool guy based on the simple fact alone that she is just pure hot."

So the next thing I know, I am in line with my navy blue Fila suit. I have worn it and now I am hooked. They have Adidas and Hilfiger and Nautica and more Fila so I think I may go back.

You have caused an obsession my friend. I thought that you would like to know that. Maybe I will bust out to the mall and find me a velour pimp suit! I could be a fat Mexican Elton John!

Smile and keep the flames away from your ass buddy!

I think you have a promising career as a Country Music songwriter.If you sing that poem in the tune of "You are my Sunshine" its pretty good!
My advice is to get an experts opinion though.Send it to Mac Davis in Nashville,TN.
