Her first boy

The first one she ever liked

Was named Duke.

Fifth grade, he asked for an eraser.

No one had one,

Except Violet.

It became tradition

One where he asked her for her eraser

One where she gave it to him.


Eventually, Valentines day came.

A pink eraser

Carved into a heart.

Duke was no gentleman

And threw the eraser away

While yelling

Not from a girl!


That was the first boy for her.

I wish it were her last.
