A Chipotle/TeaLuxe Romance

Tealuxe Girl saw Chipotle Boy eating a bean burrito through the window.  Chipotle Boy saw Tealuxe Girl drinking an herbal tea through the window.  A spark of love flickered between them.  Instead of crossing the street to meet each other, they engaged in a days-long exchange of mailed poems.  These are their poems. *Law & Order CLUNK CLUNK*

Through the window

I first saw your face

Eating a burrito

Guac flying all over the place

Despite the mess

I couldn’t help but see

The trembling of my body

Brought on by your goatee

You see, I have a weakness

For men with facial hair

If you’ll be my valentine,

I’ll never give you Nair.

I looked out the window

And saw you drinking tea

I only hoped

That you’d notice my goatee

My biggest accomplishment

The scruff on my chin

Growing a long time

Four years, it’s been!

I’m so glad that I saw you

In the window, with your book

If you’d be my valentine,

We could watch The Babadook.

New mailbox, who dis?

So long since you’ve written

It’s past Valentine’s Day

To another man, I’ve submitted!

You waited too long

My heart’s been taken

A man, with full beard

We have begun datin’

Your goatee means nothing

A very small feat

Can’t believe I ever loved it

With head high, I retreat.

What do you mean?

Another man, you’ve found?

My heart can’t take it

My soul, kicked around

A longer beard, I’ll need

Some hair growth treatment

Outgrow your beau’s beard

What an achievement!

If my hair flows longer,

You’ll have to choose me

You’re the one I met in the window

Sipping herbal tea.
