Dumb Girl

Dumb girl asks:
"What do you do when the snow accumulates,
and there's nobody with you to celebrate?
Don't you feel lonely?"
I just smile and shake my head,
and say "I throw snowballs at trees instead."
I laughed a bit and looked up at her,
And her eyes grew pale and it was observed,
that suddenly behind her eyes,
her IQ jumped up by at least 65.
She grabbed my hand and said,
"You have to understand,
throwing snowballs won't make you a man."
That's when I kissed her and held her hand.
I said "I got a woman at home,
and one down the hall,
but I'd rather stay here with you and have it all."
She grinned at me with all her teeth,
And a part of me died,
It sounded like a leaf being crunched beneath my feet.
