Unlike the suave and smooth men surrounding you, <br />I burst in your vision with the grace of a pig on a frozen pond. <br />I amused you with my clumsy attempts to stand, <br />but when I got my balance I surprised you. <br /> <br />I'm a dork and a sappy romantic and oblivious to any subtly, <br />yet I drew your interest although only briefly. <br />In my normal way I became the clumsy pig on ice again, <br />slipping and falling from your eyes. <br /> <br />You still look at me after all this time as that pig struggling to stand, <br />yet I am standing firmly on the icy path to you. <br />I can surprise you yet again but not just yet, <br />I'm going to bide my time and wait until a chill other than yours is in the air.<br /><br />Brian Hinckley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hold-the-bacon/
