The Rise and Shine: A Girl's Inquiry

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.
