She met a very handsome guy
She wanted to connect
He had a problem with his 'I'
He thought he was perfect
She felt she should exemplify
And not be so direct
No matter how she’d really try
Big egos don't correct
She thought to fake to act more shy
But what did she expect
This whole new her would be a lie
Herself she'd not detect
She saw he never would comply
And started to suspect
That she would never qualify
For his high intellect
He spattered her just like a fly
Or any small insect
She even went so far to cry
But it had no effect
So finally she said goodbye
'Twas such a hard reject
Aretha, will you tell him why
He'll never get respect

Author Notes
For anyone who didn't understand the last two lines: Aretha Franklin is a legendary singer who is known for her song, "Respect", which is the song that plays after. (And is what most people think when they think of her or hear the word, Respect)
When I wrote this I was thinking that most would know that, but thought it best to clarify.
