Dear Abby

         Dear Abby?

Jessica came to me today
 of all things

 she asked me about love

How does one explain love
 to a teenage girl

I thought about you
 I thought about us

She's met a boy
 "he's freaken awesome"

I thought about you
 I thought about us
   we're "freaken awesome"

Then she asked...
  I trembled...hoping
I had the answer

What if he has bad breath
 and wants to kiss me

I thought about you
 I thought about us...
and then I said;

 Mentos.
