Metaphorical Boner

(Inspired by “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian)

I’ve got a metaphorical boner,

But not the kind I’d get in my pants.

It’s the sweet, solid exultation

That makes me sing, laugh and dance.

I’ve got a metaphorical boner,

But it isn’t the sexual kind.

It’s gratitude and celebration

That pops from my smile and mind.

I’ve got a metaphorical boner,

‘Cause I’m full of joy, through and through,

And it doesn’t matter who you are.

You can get one of these too.
