Poem of the Day. . .

Likely story
I like fan girls, enthusiasts and bon vivants,
with favorite shows and favorite haunts.
I like gamers and people with minds like a sewer,
garage band guitarists and amateur brewers.
I like couples who dine out a little too much.
And couples with ferrets and parrots and such.
I like girls who learn Elvish and GET Middle Earth,
and women who, face it, adore Collin Firth.
I respect meditation as well as the mosh-pit.
You're my friend if, while re-watching "Bridesmaids" you lost it.
Give me people who sometimes smoke. also binge-eaters—
the decadent, sleeping with both fans and heaters. 
Give me friends that sound worse than a sailor when cursing
and the music-obsessed with their iPods near bursting. 
Sports fans with high hopes and deep team allegiance.
Englishmen, too, with their love of their regents. 
I like people who chew up the whole pack of gum.
Who sometimes exchange all restraint for some fun. 
—Sarah Torribio
