How To Pick You Up


How to pick you up

One

Are you French because Eiffel for you

But if that doesn’t work

Or move on to plane two

Two

Say 

Hey, tie your shoes! I don’t want you falling for anyone else.

But that only works if your shoes untied

Don’t tie your shoes

And if that doesn’t work  move on to plan three

Three

Say 

Are you cake? Cause I want a piece of that.

But that’s kind of rude

So skip that and move to plan four

Four

Say 

I must be a snowflake, because I've fallen for you.

But oh my god if that fails  go FOR

Five

Say

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put you between F and CK

But that’s more on the adult side.

So maybe

Six

Say

You’re really pretty … want to eat cookie dough together

That’s all there is

So one of those has to work

You can’t be so stubborn

Although that’s the side most love

Ok let’s try this again.
