Him and Her

Him:

It’s November
A time to remember
the poetic stylings of
and the smoothed out timbre

of a Lightbulb Rhyme
That’s right on time
You know you want one,
—that’s not a crime!

So don’t be ashamed
Like Omar said “it’s all in the game”
watch out now
I’m about to frame

Some science, some knowledge
nourishing like porridge
The kind you didn’t get
In 8 years of college–

So get your pad and pen lil shorty
Say “thank you lawdy,
I’m bout to learn
from a brother over forty.”

Her:

Uggghhh learn from someone over forty….

Him:
So much to teach you
Ten years been trying to reach you
Ever since I meet you
so sit back, absorb —
That I beseech you
