Spray Can:

by Scott Cole   Jul 20, 2015


She's like a spray can
That's ready to explode,
If you push her button
She'll put on a show.

For she's under pressure
To come across smooth,
And dry in only seconds
Like that stupid crazy glue.

So she racks her own brain
And shakes her marble up,
To make a first impression
From far back and closeup.

For she's a nice little find
And makes friends at will,
Cause she never will run
For she will stay and chill.

But like I said once before
She's a firecracker you know,
And if you ever get her hot
She's a little hard to hold.

So always treat her right
And she will keep her cool,
Her contents are stressed
And can spray all over you.

If you handle her safely
And treat her really good,
She will bond with anyone
Exactly the way she should.

With no slip of the lip
For there's no talking back,
If you keep your hand steady
Then all should be on track.

For she does as she should
If you will treat her as such,
When she figures it all out
Then you'll love her so much.

    I love the spray can metaphor here and the rhythm and rhyme is very good.
