The Distant View

Sometimes-
when I see a pretty girl in the grocery store
I decide my shopping cart needs a little more
Cheezits...
Cause she's on aisle 7 which is "Snacks and Crackers."
I wheel my shopping cart over to track her.

This time-
Upon reaching the enticing destination of cheezits
In a moment I realize that I need to beat it
Cause her face looks like she's been in a battle and I surrender.
Somebody please! What is that gender?

The distant view, The persistent view
Can really screw you over.
Did I get her number? No sir!

Cause from this fifty yard fakeout
I think that I'll breakout and run
as fast as I can.
Is that a lady or a man?

The Move

At the counter, movie tickets to buy
A pretty girl and me
Pull my wallet out like a loaded guy
And now I'm floundering

Only 20 bucks, this is the worst
The tickets cost twenty-two
Of course she wouldn't bring her purse
What am I gonna do?

Digging through the floor of my car
While she texts and looks at the time
Found a dollar fifty-four so far
All in pennies and dimes

Step into the movie 20 minutes late
Amid the credits we look for a seat
I point out a section to my date
And our journey is almost complete

Reaching the top of the flight of stairs
Distracting the viewers around
Together we find a pair of chairs
I notice the armrest is down

Into the seat, now what should I do?
What would she prefer?
Ask "Hey, can I put my arm around you?"
Or just pull "the move" on her?

Lift my arms up with a sigh
This my victory or crack of doom
When quite abruptly she stands high
She has to use the bathroom

Sitting alone I'm quite perplexed
How could it take this long to pee?
When in a dawning moment I realize next
She pulled a parting move on me.
