Let's Go on a Date

You’d like to take me out?

Well, I suppose that’d be alright.

But I must say one thing

For the sake of the night.

No dinner and a movie. 

Please, take me somewhere new. 

Hiking, a ballgame,

Someplace out of the blue.

Tell me about your favorite game,  

oldest childhood toy, and worst family trip. 

Do you like reunions,

Or would you rather skip?

Don’t marvel me with your stories

About how much you go out. 

Because really, the amount of beer you can drink

Is nothing to brag about.

I care more about your attitude

And your respect for others.

Your ability to relate to people

And the way you treat your mother.

So please, be yourself

And stop trying to impress.

I have no doubt

That it will end in success.

So, the question remains

After all I’ve written about.

Do you think that you still

would want to go out?
