I will never write a poem about her, because she opposes being the subject of literature. But I feel like wanting to give the world some snapshots of us, at least to remind ourselves many years from now of these laughable moments.

**************************************************************

"Let's go karaoke'ing this weekend." I ask her.
"Who else is coming?" She queries.
"A girl and a guy."
"Ok." A short pause.
"Is the girl pretty?"
I think for a moment. "Yes."
"Is she tall?"
"Almost as tall as me."
"What??... Is she Asian?"
"Yes."
"Wow, that must be horrible!" She ponders about the possibility and concludes: "She is pretty and she is tall.... She must be a model... I don't want to meet her. "
"Huh? Why?"
"Well, she will make me feel less good looking and short."
"Less good looking?"
Pause.
"I don't want to meet her!"
Pause.
"But I do want to meet her."
Pause again.
"Ok, when are we going?"

******************************************************

"Oh my goodness, I was burnt by hydrochloric acid today and they left black dots above my lips!" She exclaims.
"You mean the new beard that you've grown?" It does look like a beard.
"Oh my goodness, is it that big?"
"Yes and I think it may grow bigger."
"What? Can I wash it off?" She goes to the washroom and fervently tries to wash them off.
"Oh by the way, don't wash them, else you might irritate them and make them even bigger."
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Sorry didn't know, never got burnt by hydrochloric acid."
"Ok..." She pauses and changes the topic. "Why are you in the kitchen so late?"
"I'm hungry"
I open the fridge and find it empty.
"Where did all the food go?"
"I had them for lunch yesterday." Was her answer. "But there are still eggs left."
"Errrgh, but I had them for breakfast today and will have them for breakfast tomorrow... if I eat eggs again I'll become an egg... And then I'll become a chicken..."
"Really?" She ponders about the possibility. "You know... if you become a chicken, I'll be very hungry again!"

So anyway, she's got a pretty sense of humor. As to who she is, that's for you to find out. I asked if I could put her name up on my site, she told me she'd say yes only if I didn't ask her. I'll have to respect that.

So till next time.
