The Girl Poem by James Casey

The Girl

I was sitting there minding my business
When a girl came in from the back
She had brown eyes and a short little dress
I feel she had some thing I lack

' The boss is waiting to see you ' she said
So I traveled in that direction
He's waiting for you in the back
And I feel she had something I lack

' We have to do lots of tests, ' he said
And had them laid out on a rack
The girl had followed behind me
I feel she had something I lack

I started my testing as instructed
In the room way, way, outback
The girl stayed there to help me
And I feel she has something I lack

This was just our first meeting
This girl, who kept me on track
And eventually she showed me
She did have something I lack

We were married in the fall
Twas my heart that she did hijack
We are still married today
The girl who had something I lacked
