Dean
Okay, I can do this. How friggin’ hard can it be?
“Shall I compare thee to a midnight sky
Thou art more…blacker…and….”
Well, trying to be all Shakespearean and shit’s not working.
“My sleek, fantastic, elegant Impala
You’re beauty outshines…”
What the fuck rhymes with Impala…lava?
“Given to me by my late, great father…”
Oh boy, this sucks.
“You’re always there for me
To get me from a to b.
You’re more than just a car
You’re a vehicular superstar.
This ode’s been written by Dean
Not a great poet but always keen.”
Sam’s gonna roll on the floor laughing.
Sam
Okay, I’m sure I can do this. I wrote Jessica a couple of poems and she didn’t giggle when she read them. Perhaps she was being polite. Here I go overthinking things again.
“Everyone needs a hobby, a way to pass the time;
I have a guilty pleasure, something that’s all mine.
Collecting serial killer books is weird, folk might say
But that’s not all I order from Ebay
When Dean’s particular annoying and gets me twitching
That’s when I take up my cross-stitching.”
Holy shit, I can’t share this with Dean, he’ll never stop teasing me!
Think, Sam, think!
