"Expiration Date"

I met a girl

oh, she’s beautiful-everyone loves her.

The ladies are green with envy

and the gentlemen offer their arms-

only an arm,

and her sea green skin is the most lovely thing you’ll ever see

but don’t touch.

Those jasmine eyes sparkle

blinding everyone around her.

Yes, I know what she looks like

I know who she is

I think I’m going to ask her to marry me.

How lucky a woman!

She said

yes.

Crying with happiness, shaking in joy

I wonder how much the diamond will cost?

Oh thank you, thank you

all the congratulations!

I grab her hand, for now I can

and pose for the picture I will hang in my office

as soon as the promotion comes along

in September.

I’m ready for the change,

I’ve had enough of green this spring.
