I'M Glad We Could Talk Poem by Brandon Owens

Getting ready for a big date
I stop at the mirror
And do a double take
Make sure the hair's in place
“You got this man
Just stick to the plan
Play it smooth and cool
Be aloof and mysterious
Offer your hand
Take her home to the pool
And go for a swim
Once there you're in
That's right you're the man”
Back from the date
It didn't go so great
Passing the mirror
Staring at that face
“You're stupid dude
What happened to the plan
You ruined the mood
You were a straight dork
It was so obvious
You wanted to pork
Your hair looks stupid
And your breath reeks
What were you thinking
Are you crazy? ”
To my surprise
The other guy
My reflection says
“I sat through the compliments
But this sir I cannot take
I will not stand here
And let you insult my taste
It was not I who messed up
And ruined the date
I think perhaps YOU are quite insane”
