I am a short guy
Shy but I’m nice
I will be there for you
I’ll be kind
I’ll be cool and kinda dorky
But also nerdy
And also a bit tough and hard
I can be rough
But soft
And yet
I’m short
Is that ok?
I think it’s just character
Stuffed up inside
My pants —oops,
I mean,
My heart
And I can be funny and goofy
And cursing like a sailor
And muttering like a shy short guy
Will you give me a chance
Under my glasses and hat?
Will you give me a call,
Cutie pie?

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
