First Sight
Hi there, Joolz, my name’s Joe Blossom.
No, it genuinely is.
Just to say your vlog is awesome,
Absolutely does the biz,
That’s not like because you’re pretty.
Pretty isn’t what I meant.
I live in a different city,
In a different continent.
Miles and miles and miles divide us.
You are there and I am here.
Yet I’m richer than King Midas,
Sharing in your vlogosphere.
Chances are we’ll never meet, or
If, an age away, we do,
Still I’ll not have found a sweeter,
Beautifuller girl than you.
So I’m going to watch you daily
(I don’t watch just any shit)
And I’ll play my ukulele.
This is me like playing it.
Joolz, I love you. There, I’ve said it,
Thought I wouldn’t. Anyhow,
Out of time and out of credit,
I’m Joe Blossom. Bye for now.
