Creates Shocking Moments

Repositioning under a woolen quilt

You build up your power

Your violet sparks crackle when spilt

Causing me to glower

Your fractal branches dance

And surprise me with a shock

That makes me jump out of my pants

And yell out with a squawk

Your electrons shift around me

But I know not their plan

They sting me like a bee

Then say they’re my biggest fan

Your personality is electrifying

It makes my hairs stand on end

But I would be lying

If I said I liked this trend

So don’t be offended if I need to bolt

I’m just tired of receiving your jolt
