Social Drama/Comedy
, by
The joke is spreading around faster than she could imagine, Like she used to do, lie in front of her boyfriend, But then, this time is different, everybody is laughing, Finally it's funny, no longer requiring an extra effort To be made when she doesn't even feel like it. What else could she do? Buying groceries at midnight? Nothing really is going to be any funnier than that, And she knows it, as the joke is going to kill a couple guys, Better now than never. It always worked. It will work. Then why standing there like an idiot unknowningly smiling? Nobody is going to laugh when the lights are green.
