You and That Girl by Megan LangleyYou and that girl.
You must be kidding me!
Bouncing off the wall
Versus stiff as a tree.
You and that girl.
This must be a joke!
Mountain Dew
Versus Diet Coke.
You and that girl.
Are you nuts?
Leaping up and down
Versus sophisticated struts.
You and that girl.
Are you still all there?
Innocent eyes
Versus serious glare.
You and me
As free as can be!
Happiness
Versus that girl. 03/10/2001 Author's Note: Have you ever known a couple that was totally opposite and had nothing in common?? I couldn't stand seeing this couple together...but I got over it (and their relationship didn't last long either!)

Posted by Tony Whitaker on 11/12/07 at 08:37 PM That last stanza was the crusher. Exactly what a woman can do to a free man, become a prisoner to love! Well deserved POTD! |

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 11/13/07 at 04:44 AM This is a fun, witty read. The contrasts are clever and easy to relate to. I like the repetition of "you and that girl" and the last stanza puts you into this relationship just where you want to be. Congrats on POTD! |
