A friend request notification intercepted her chimera She was stuck in a perplexing dilemma not sure of her next step As she tossed the pencil up in the air; closed the dairy with a tap The dilemma was whether to watch some web series or have 2 hours of sound sleep Because the dairy she banged read  My dreams for a friendship that is deeper than the deep.
