{Melodramatic Love Poem #2}

'you have no new messages,'
says the answering machine.
'you have 0 new messages,'
says my inbox.
'you are a loser,'
i say to myself.

but wait!
what's this?
on my front step
there is a box
and it is addressed
to me!
who is it from?
it is from
my sweetheart!
what day is today?
it's... it's...
my unbirthday, that's all
what a sweet and wonderful
man, this boyfriend of mine!
i run to my room,
carrying the box,
and when have closed the door behind me
i rip the box open and find
a shiny purple vibrator!

my eyes tear up a bit;
he knows just what i like.
