Do we lose a certain aspect
Of ourselves
When it's not practiced enough
Remembering how to flirt
When it hasn't been done
In years

Has it changed?
Are the rules different?
What is PDA in 2017?
Should there be classes for it?

So confusing
Feeling rusty
Like the tin man
From the wizard of oz

Where's my oil can?
Or WD-40 to get the kinks out?
Being over 30 and having to
Think about this again

Feels like being in high school
Fresh meat
No experience
In anything

Yet experience
There was many years ago
I guess in this new world again
Remembering how to flirt
Will come in handy

As Ms. Frizzle from the
Magic School Bus used to say
Take chances, makes mistakes,
Get messy
Remember how to flirt
