Ponytail Girl

At 2 PM, She eats a late lunch by design
So that she’ll have
Some self-control at dinnertime
Not much at all,
Gets done on friday afternoon
So who would mind if she should leave a little soon
The welcome breath of open air
The daily driving regimen
Talk radio to fill her head
Until the exits missed again
At 4 PM, her second shower of the day
She shuts her eyes
And lets the work week wash away
Repaints her toes and fingernails
Sprays on 3 dollars of perfume
Brushes her teeth and tries on clothes
Until they clutter up the room
At 6 PM she shows up at her friends house late
We have to eat
Before the concert starts at eight
She says hello to our mutual friends
Hugs me a little bit too tight
They told me she came just for me And now I see that they were right
REFRAIN:
It does nothing for me But make me sad
That you did all this
For nothing
You had to know
That I never saw you
As a star in my life’s fairytale
Did you really think
That you’d really change that at all
By putting your hair in a ponytail
