I am a dork!
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
I am a dork!
A deeply shy man
An emotional hermit
A socially disabled dude
Girls are my whole world
They make me anxious
They make me sweat
They torment me!
An informal encounter
Is a gawky affair
Resplendent in blue blushes
And a murmur, splutter and mumble
Too close to the angels
And my heart risks attack
I get bathed in cold sweat
And my lips dance awkwardly
I am sixteen and single
Not because I don’t mingle
Or make beautiful girls giggle
But due to lack of a jingle
To tune them
