The Girl Behind the Poem

Pay no attention to the girl behind the curtain.

She never speaks.

No, not a peep.

 

Pay no mind to the freshman in the hall.

She's nothing to see.

She's not got eyes like the sea.

 

Pay no attention to the sophomore in Spanish.

She's a silly little girl.

Only that and nothing more.

 

Pay no mind to the junior yelling in Street Law.

She isn't like us around here.

Not that little dear.

 

Pay no attention to the senior on the stage.

Wait, who might this be?

The one who never speaks, whose nothing to see?

The silly little girl. Thought she was only that and nothing more.

 

Pay no attention to the bitch behind the curtain.

She is bitter and cold.

But, man, is she bold.
