Love you one day hate you the next
Turn right to the index
Jealousy, possession, and obsession
Flip to the emotional problems section
Mean, teasing, fighting, and rude
Turn to chapter 2: Their flirting attitude
Beautiful, pretty, attractive, hot?
Page 30: What boys think that you do not
A manual would be great
For each boy we date
Cause they are oh so confusing...
and very amusing!

Awesome, how very wry, and with such a lovely flow, too. Wish I could do that :)

I love this! The rythym is awesome, but it does get lost sometimes. Try keeping an eye on the number of syllables in each line, it'll help keep the rythym going through the whole poem.

I smiled when i read this one, because,well,it's so true. Every boy is so different, from looks, to personality. It takes a while to find the right one.

Wow, this is pretty good. I really get what you're saying.  I've dealt with quite a few guys and often thing how nice it would be to have a book of rules.  Keep up the good work and check out my stuff.
