The Dude's Encomium of All Things Boy: Chap. 3 Girls!

[Dude A Bydes]

Yeccccch! A Girl

"Some of my best friends are girls," but don't tell Matt I told ya.

I think most boys would say the same if you held their feet to fire.

But letting a fellow's GI Joe spend a day at Barbie's Spa...

Could get a guy's boy card revoked as fast as joining with a choir.

So I'll play it cool when I'm seen at school with femmes and chicks and lasses.

I'll care and share, and speak and seek, and occasionally I'll feed them.

But like a girl? (Don't make me hurl!) I'd rather wear some glasses.

I'll just pretend that they're my friend, 'cause some day I might need one.

But your Boy-Dude'ness . . . "Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses" < Just wanted to sneak a Dorothy Parker quote in there.

LOVED your tease and taste and touch of this ... "No need to hurl", said this tomboy girl . . . I'll ride my Schwinn and watch you win when your turn comes up on some sportin' field. GI Joe can accompany Barbie to a show and laugh at all the good parts and they can take turns pickin' which flickin' is up on the BigScreen. And Dude -- we can build forts togetha ... never tell when we may have to take on the world. So glad you're one of my best friends even with Matt knowin' ... cause cool be cool and you're no fool.

So there.
