"Men Lie", by Natalie Barrett Browning (applause)

TRANSCRIPT:
 Natalie:  Coley, Hey, I'm on the phone with you right now.  I can't wait until high school, it's going to be great!  I hope we have fun this weekend and I hope we get our own dorms.  Who do you like?  I like you!  I'm glad me and Alecia are friends again, who's your best friend at CT (Cross Timbers)?  My best friend here is Audrey, but she's been acting weird lately.  I'm going to make up a poem for you right now. 
Men suck even though they're fine
Cause they have good behinds
They say they love you
But then they leave you
Even though you cry
They still say goodbye
MEN LIE!  (applause)
Love, Nat
I really hope Jeff calls me tonight!  He said on Saturday that he would call me on Sunday.  I hope I hear from him before you get this letter.  Every night until 9:00 I hope every phone call is him.  But I can't sit around and wait.  I have a life, too.  Kinda.  I'm trying to take up space.  Well, got to go. - Love always, Nat



Yeah Nat, high school would have been great... if I hadn't moved away.  Sad face.  Luckily you (kind of) had a life and were able to carry on just fine without me.  Too bad that poetry writing career of yours never took off.  You would have been rad, the opposite of bad, cuz I never get mad at my good ol' laddy, Natty.  (Applause).
