PICKIN UP GIRLS

By Dan Donlan, www.PoetryPoem.com/dandy1    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

I was not the brightest of students
went to college on a basketball scholarship
I wanted to play college ball and meet girls
Someone said all the coeds were into football players
So I was stuck with those into men with brains
I signed up for Algebra and Geometry
Confused was I by both flib a coin
I knew girls were turned off by those with shady lines
I sat in a bar near the campus known for coeds
Not a man with easy love conversation, I said,
"A+B-C=X Can you help me prove it?
This football type said, " Buddy you buy the next round."
My girl joined him and I was left alone
Next girl more studious with Hornrimmed glasses
"Do you know equal parallel lines are perpendicular?"
"Are you buying or just a dumm dumb athlete with a freshman line"
I found myself buying drinks, still the football players got the girls
So one day my Grandson was studying Geometry
"So I said, "You know algebra and Geometry will not help
you pick up girls you have to play football or buy drinks"
"Grandpa I have a girlfriend and I don't drink."
"See you proved my point you don't need algebra or Geometry at all."
