Show-and-Tell

 

I came in to show-and-tell you something

but you didn't seem to care to see-and-hear

and later, when the pain subsided, and I asked

you said I'd not been excited enough about it

and that made you show an indifferent interest

I heard where you were coming from, and saw

you believed your reasoning to be reasonable

and yet I couldn't help thinking to myself that

all you'd have to do for your own show-and-tell

to be something that I'd want to see-and-hear

would be to come to me to show it and tell it

no minimum threshold of excitement, just you

 


Show-and-Tell
