Sitting around quietly,

No radio or TV…

What he wants

Is find new haunts,

To blend in socially.

–

Would be nice to dance with a girl,

Giving her a good whirl…

Before she escapes

Find topics to traipse,

Through their time of peril.

–

Being close to someone,

Having a little fun…

Making a play

For another day,

Hoping that she will come!

–

If they go deeper that’s better,

Over time he may wed her…

Just being near

A vibrant dear,

For touching he wants to let her.

–

Hoping his talk is well-timed,

His feelings he may have rhymed…

But there he sits

Scared out of his wits,

Rejection has made him blind.
