'Buy' Yourself A Bag Of Chips Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Because I show an interest in you,
I 'have' to prove myself worthy...
To gain your attention?

You have either too much caffeine in your system,
Or someone suggested to you I was desperate.
Which is it?

I admit I had been physically attracted to you.
But the only thing that surges to a peak on me,
Right now...
Is my left eyebrow.

Are you grooming to be 'all that'?
Let me see if I have some spare change,
So you can 'buy' yourself a bag of chips!
