For Rent: One Teenager

One teenager for rent
She can teach you
to roll your eyes
text while driving, eating
and studying.
She can teach heavy sighs
To say “Really”
in a most sarcastic tone
followed by a “Whatever”
or two.
Watching TV shows of no redeeming value
is her specialty
(okay THAT could be my fault)
“American Idol” is her shrine
She may be accompanied
by boys with tattoos
piercings
and no discernible futures.
Feed them and they will stay
Please rent my teenage
Free trial this week only
or your money back.
