Sense Sonnet - Acher

Flirt Down

I tried to flirt to get ahead
In my job at the company.
But I got a pink note instead,
Accused of being too pushy,
Even though I do sweat a lot,
And I am morbidly obese,
Then there's the bad acne I've got,
And my hair is stringy in grease.
Whenever I did touch someone
To try to flirtingly impress,
They'd recoil as if I had done
Something infectious, more or less.

If one is gonna try to flirt,
Being attractive doesn"t hurt.
