The NipTale: When Body Parts Go Rogue

Why oh why do my nips decide,

To stand at attention when a girl walks by?

Is it the way she smiles, or her twinkling eyes?

Or maybe the curve of her hips, or her stunning disguise?

Does my body perceive her as some kind of threat?

Or is it just teenage hormones in a frenetic duet?

Can't seem to control this peculiar reaction,

Oh, the trials and tribulations of adolescent attraction!

It's not a crime, just a funny quirk,

Part of growing up and how our bodies work.

But the next time it happens, I'll laugh and say,

"Hey, even my nipples think you're cute today!"
