Pretty Gurls always pass me by
by Elgin Bolling
Pretty Girls! Pretty Girls! They always pass me by!
I’m too shy to look them in the eye…
Each Saturday night, I ask myself,
WHY??
Why don’t I have someone to love??
A beautiful girl who fits my soul, just like a glove?
I feel like a slug…gotta get out more…
Struck up a conversation with a girl the other day..
She turned and walked away.
Said I was just a terrible bore…
That is, right after she began to snore!
She spun on her heels and walked out the door..
Sigh…What's it all for?
Hey I wanna know, Just WHAT is s my flaw??
It can’t be my looks… Gee whiz… I see girls dating guys who look just like
CROOKS!
At least I keep my nose stuck here in a book
So that when the time comes when a pretty girl passes my way,
Then I’ll have something interesting to say!
LOOK! Here’s one right NOW! She's walking my way!!!
…What to say… what to say...what to say.... WHAT TO SAY????!
Er… Hello…Howdy…uh… Hey!
Nice…Day….er…. Are ….You… Feeling… Okay?
WHAT?? REALLY?? NO WAY!!
You mean… you actually want to STAY??!!
And talk to a guy like ME???
YOU MEAN...FOR FREE???
Thank YOU!! …Awww… shucks…. wow… Gee…
That’s so awfully nice… but
I just CAN’T
It just wouldn’t be Right…I mean after all... YOU'RE JUST NOT MY TYPE!
Come near and hear the sound of my soul through the writing on the page, as seen on the screen.These words do not age, not one sentence, or phrase...Dont appraise or be afraid of them,let your consciousness be raised by them! let your mouth join in praise and jubilation!these psalms I write, are for the nations regardless of your situation.
