Thanks for the hearts - let's not engage

***

I am always startled, don't you know

By the women who like my work.

I share my stuff the media way

Socially: the internet's main perk.

I'm grateful for the attention

Of notifications that I gain:

Who doesn't like a little heart

To help you start your day?

But as time goes on, I'm starting to think

That's something's not quite right

Because of who I attract to me:

They don't really fit my type.

I have nothing against pouting, per se

Or big round bouncy breasts

All but revealed to me in a selfie

Very short on text.

Whatever floats your boat -

Which they most certainly would.

Ladies, I prefer spandex

To Spam on X,

And I'm not a big fan of that.

Just so you know.

Because you want to know me.

Or seem to at least.

I do wonder what they expect from me,

This little writing girl?

That they'd be interested in me?

- I'm just surprised a bit, that's all.
