First Date
One hour until he gets here
 Hair is in a frizzy bun
 Sweats, huge pimple, and no make-up
 Something must be done!
 
 Pop that pesky whitehead
 Straighten hairs till each one's fried
 Mascara on my lashes
 Nervous butterflies inside
 
 Push up my lacking chest
 Squeeze into too tight jeans
 Skip the heels, he's not that tall
 Shoot--I swear that shirt was clean!
 
 Spray perfume till I choke on fumes
 And test six different shoes
 Ready. But wait! Didn't brush my teeth
 Too late--mints will have to do
 
 Doorbell rings, my moment has come
 Check myself out for a millionth time
 "It's for you!" Mom yells as I pace my room
 Okay, time for her daughter to shine
