In the realm where teenage hormones twirl,
I, a girl, wonder about the boys\' world.
Why oh why, do they stand so tall?
At the sight of a cutie in the mall?
When class is quiet and still,
A sudden rise, against their will?
At the beach, with water cold and nice,
An upright salute, their secret vice.
They say it\'s natural, happens to all,
Yet, as a girl, I find it quite the squall.
Is it just random or sparked by a thought?
This physiological quirk, oh, it\'s quite a plot!
There\'s no mean harm, it\'s just biology,
An amusing part of their anthology.
So here\'s a nod to that awkward dance,
A mystery wrapped in teenage romance.
