Oh Bo (Bo Burnham)

Chapter 8

I spent the rest of the afternoon talking with Bo.

"Today was awful. I met a homeless man names rich, he wasnt". He said.

"Isn't that terrible" I laughed. "I saw a flyer for a lost dog".

"And the dog didnt have any legs" he smirked.

"I saw a dietetic kid" I said with a straight face.

"Trick or treating" he mumble. I laughed hard at that.

"Oh! I saw a giraffe that had a short neck. That was sad" he added.

"Or a deer" I chuckled.

He grabbed a notebook.

"What's that for?"

"To write this down" he responded.

"Why?"

"Cause it's funny" and some great lyrics. "Keep going" .

"I'm awful under pressure".

"Just think of things that would make you laugh".

"I saw an old man get hit by a train" I blurted.

"Psychopath. how is that funny?"

"I don't know. It just came to mind".

"Seek help".

"Then don't put me under pressure".

"It's not like I'm sitting on you".

"You're an idiot" I rolled my eyes.

"You saw an old man get hit by a train" he paused. "He didnt see it in the pourin' rain".

"He didnt hear me say look out for the train" I added.

"Cause I didn't say anything".

"I just sat there and thought to myself".

"Oh this is gonna be sad and it was".

"Your a genius" I smirked. We went on for hours. When we finally finished it was 6:00.

"I have to go" I said. He frowned.

"Let me walk you home."

"I got it, but thanks".

"You sure?"

"Yeah".

I walked home, ate dinner and went to bed. I woke up about 2:30 to my phone going off.

"Hello?" I said sleeply.

"Hello, sorry to wake you, but you were the emergency contact of this guy I found and he needs help" a stranger said into the phone.

"Where is he?" I asked in a panic.

"He's at the park. In town."

"I'll be right there. Thank you".

"Umm, hurry".

I ran to my car and speed to the park. When I got there the park was lit beautifully with candles. Bo was at my in the middle of a blanket. I got out of the car and rushed to him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Wow, you got here quick" Bo said.

"Yeah. Now what's wrong?".

"Nothing. I just wanted to show you something".

"And you couldn't just ask me, instead of giving me a heart attack?!" I yelled.

"It was the only way to make sure you came."

"I'm going to kill you".

"Yeah well I needed to show you this".....
