Ode to Amanda

Oh you, my tall blonde friend

Spoke in the wheel of McNulty

That I met in a bar one day

Gardener of flowers

Judger of chickens

Teller of birthdays in time

Hirer of housekeepers

Understander of sports

Harasser of Greg

Builder of fires

Namer of Joan

Owner of Buddy and two Presidents

Teller of jokes

Fixer of problems

Lover of grass

Finder of four leaf clovers

Attender of plays

Answerer of trivia

Purchaser of Groupons

Wearer of dresses

Lover of Percy Jackson

Milker of cows

Drinker of milk

Drinker of wine

Cuddler of Jess

Writer of lesson plans

Inventor of apps

Listener of problems

Giver to friends

And to family

Before that day I met you

I told people

I’m the coolest woman they'd ever meet

In a bar

But you proved me wrong

It’s you
