Escaping The Friend Zone Poem by Charles Hancock

On a whim, I decided to drop by
She was sitting in an easy chair
Nibbling on a slice of cherry pie
And browsing through Vanity Fair

The afternoon sun had a reddish tinge
Funny, I never noticed that hue before
A song was playing; Lunatic Fringe
So I knocked on her French door

She looked up and beckoned me in
Another day in paradise, I inquired
She stated she didn't know where to begin
But went on with what had transpired

She continued for about ten minutes or so
About small things got under her skin
I finally told her she had to let some things go
Or she could end up in the loony bin

She gradually caught my drift
Then asked if I could stay a while
Sensing that her mood had begun to shift
I kissed her and she began to smile
