It all started at an auction,
At night,
It was a church activity,
Not with money,
It was with...
With...
Paper slips?
Anyway,
We all auctioned things we could do for each other,
Like me,
I offered to...
To...
What services did I promise to fulfil?
Ah,
Whatever.
The important thing is,
That a boy,
A cute boy,
Offered to take whoever purchased on a date.
I was single,
So I won the bid,
And...
And...
Not long after,
We went to a pho restaurant,
I never had it before,
I got the...
The...
A very delicious pho,
I ate it all up.
We talked about...
About...
I don't remember,
All I remember is the delicious food,
And how he kept looking,
Looking at his phone,
For that whole...
Whole...
No,
Constantly...
Constantly during that one hour,
Because of a football game.

Ugh, what a loser! I hate people who are always on their phone when they're supposed to spend time with us. Loved your poem!
A football game, how rude! At least you got some delicious pho! Thanks for giving me a laugh today.
