Two Admirers

by Shannon Mayes aged 14

I sit and I lie
The boys next to me
Stare into my eyes
Admirers I can see

One is handsome
An athlete or a jock
They flirt and fail
Nerds he so rudely mocks

The other is nice
Buried in a book
I can see why
He is called the jock a crook

They both have talents
But there is one I must choose
They smile and pass
One I couldn’t possibly lose

The nerd, he does
Everything so great
I guess this is
The one and only Fate
