Soppy Bastard

Have you ever really liked someone but been too shy to tell them? Well, why not sit at home and write a long poem about it? And then still not actually tell them how you feel? Yes, that will work. Then, years later, you can find the poem in an old notebook and post it on your blog.

If I asked you really nicely

If I begged you on my knees

If I sent you chocolates and roses

Or if I just said “please”

Then perhaps you’d grant me

My one and only wish

I’m asking really nicely

How about a kiss?

I’d like to be romantic

But I’m afraid I don’t know how

I really want to ask you

But I’m scared to do it now

I’ve got a spot upon my nose

And a spare inch here and there

I’m sure I’ve got my good points too

But do you really care?

I think about you every day

You’re always on my mind

But, before I ask you,

Some courage I must find

I’d need a private moment

With no one else nearby

I hope to God that you’ll say yes

If you don’t, I think I’ll die

I suppose it’s now or never

I hope you’ll hear my plea

I’m asking you right here and now

Will you go out with me?
