Why I Have A Crush On You, UPS Man

you bring me all the
things I order
are never in a bad mood
always have a jaunty wave as you
drive away
look good in your brown shorts
we have an ideal uncomplicated
relationship
you're like a cute boyfriend with great legs
who always
brings the perfect present
(why, it's just what I've always wanted!)
and
then is considerate enough to go away
oh, UPS Man, let's hop in your clean
brown truck and elope !
ditch your job, I'll ditch mine
let's hit the road
for Brownsville
and tempt each other
with all the luscious brown foods —

roast beef, dark chocolate,
brownies, Guinness, homemade pumpernickel,
molasses cookies
I'll make you my mama's bourbon pecan pie
we'll give all
the packages to kind looking strangers
live in a cozy wood cabin
with a
brown dog or two
and a black and brown tabby
I'm serious, UPS Man. Let's
do it.
Where do I sign?
