When meeting someone new

there’s a couple of things to do. Don’t sit on chocolate

in the summertime don’t make fart jokes cause you think

it’s cute. Don’t make good jokes out of bad problems

don’t let your ego make you honest definitely don’t forget

to account for condensation. Don’t think of personal histories

as laundry chutes don’t make fart jokes cause you think

it’s cute I can’t stress that one enough it’s more important

than the others. Don’t forget to do the little things that

sometimes leave you sitting on chocolate

in the summertime. Don’t oscillate between too far

and too close don’t accidentally get and then give

motion sickness. Don’t tell them you’re left handed

definitely don’t tell them what month you were born in.

Definitely don’t hide your stupid smile

when you’ve been genuinely intrigued.
