Marlo Thomas played "That Girl",

She was so beautiful and bright,

As Danny's delight, she could warm hearts,

With her pretty smile.

I wish I had a Marlo Thomas in my life,

As a child I was portly and clumsy,

I was called a geek, a freak,

a variety of " bleeping bleeps."

Pretty girls avoided me,

In school, at the pool,

At the beach, in the park,

I guess I lacked the spark,

To melt a young lady's heart.

But time has a way of healing things,

For I shed the weight,

Redid the wardrobe,

Changed the style of my hair,

Added some swagger and flair.

Now it's no longer a problem,

To attract young, beautiful ladies,

I asked one to become my wife,

She said yes,

Now we're creating and raising,

Beautiful babies.

Life is good!
