WHAT FINALLY BROUGHT A BOY JOY

There stands thee with a secret in your locket
and a man’s phone number in your pocket
You’re too pretty for descriptive and alliterative ‘English phrases
And I wonder , do you go through men like phases?

One day he’s in fashion the next day a fad
And you don’t suffer well men who make you mad
Part of you I’d worship, the other half teach
As you had a goal for years you simply had to reach

And quite honestly I admire that as quite a great deal
Always knowing how to touch then learning how to feel
Because somewhere in the center of an adolescent was desire
But how to tell mom and dad , because it’s not like her to be a liar

So she awaited for the time to be precisely right
And when all the obstacles were no longer in sight
The lady began jumping hurdles and vaulting them all
And so many men in line begging her to call

I can’t imagine the heart rendering kind of pain
While I would watch as the moon would wax and wane
The lovely as a young boy wishing he could wear Barbra’s dress
And then someone might ask if he wants to confess

Yes, you’ll confess, you’ll admit you beat them all
After all, they weren’t the ones so many men yearned to call
So now sit’s a gorgeous woman and a lady refined
But at age ten what must have been going through a young BOY’S mind ?
