Go to Prom!! Win a Tuxedo!!

TUXESHey Bro,

Prom is right around the corner and I know what you’re thinking: Do I really need to rent a tux? Can’t I just shake the cheetos dust off my jeans, shine my sneakers, and call it a day? Uhhh…no. You can’t.

Let me put it in a way you can understand: A tuxedo is to prom as Chuck Norris is to butt kicking. You can’t have one without the other. So you wanna win one? A tuxedo, not a Chuck Norris.

 

Allow me to help you. The awesome folks over at Virtual Prom (in addition to being awesome) have generously donated a $100 gift certificate to the Men’s Wearhouse to help one of you lucky guys look a lot less sloppy on Prom Night! Tell your moms and girlfriends, we said, ‘You’re welcome.’

Like all good things in life, you’re going to have to work for it. Here’s what you need to do: In the comments section, post your most creative, hilarious, moving or ridiculous Prom POEM. Pour your hearts out, fellas. The contest is open until midnight on Tuesday, April 21st. The winner, as determined by the ‘Hey Josh’ powers that be, will be announced next week!

Get crackin’. And check out Virtual Prom to create your own prom avatar, complete with killer dance moves and well-coifed hair.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, I will always, Be cooler than you,

We Have Spoken

last year i ended up going to prom with the head of the cheerleading squad (i was a junior, she was a senior) so i was totally excited because she was a lot more popular than me, but i totally won her over. (my friends were all very impressed and shocked with how I managed to do this) In the time before prom we actually started kinda dating and things were going really well. Then ON THE NIGHT OF PROM i heard through the grapevine that she cheated on me with another dude! We danced like once, but I was so disgusted that i refused to dance with her any more. at the end of the night she was so mad at me for ignoring her but also told me she was sorry that she cheated on me. She asked if I would kiss her because I was still her date and this WAS prom. I can’t believe i actually said this to her but i did… “No thanks, I know where your mouth has been. Later” Then I walked off. Skanky cheerleader = FAIL. ME = FTW!

Sad Prom

He was the one everyone made fun of, the loner, the one no one would talk to.
But he decided to go alone just to make it through.
The trigger is pulled and everyone is fooled.
They picked and they poked fun as he was part of a pun
He had no intention of hurting but they just kept thwarting.
Regrets, remorse in silence it took one person to cause the violence
Respect, courtesy, and acknowledgement is all he wanted
But instead he was taunted. He couldn’t take it anymore,
So now he lies upon the floor….

18th(Day After)

She had some problems,
It was hard to breathe,
But I looked past and
Gave some relief.
We went as friends,
It was nice and fun.
Two-stepped with her and every
One.

Didn’t drink,
Didn’t get high,
I just went and
Had a good time.

It felt weird,

You know,
Young as I am,
But such relief I had
When I did my spiel.

Numbers game going on there.
Birthday, dance day, then today.
Today’s the 18th,
And I feel good.
Peace and relaxation,
Like I’ve hoped I would.

Used by so many others,
Never finding true love,
Always finding impostors,
Why can’t you see,
That I’m right here,
Why do you miss out,
On the real thing,
How can you,
Not see me,
We were made for each other,
But you go for them,
And they use you,
Something no one should experience,
I’m always on the sidelines,
Always cheering you on,
Why can’t you see,
You belong with me.
May I have this dance?

You were meant to be seen in this twilight;
the way you glow so gold and bright.
And even between the earth and the night,
you’re still the most luminous in sight.

The customs of prom can be silly it’s true
- oh my, look at your pretty shoes! -
but there’s still nothing I’d rather do,
then dance the night away with you.

And that’s why I wrote for you this song.
So since we don’t live for very long
and our bodies and hearts will break and bend:
lets go that night and dance like the world’s to end.

They had been friends for 10 plus years.
He had always been there, wiped all her tears.
She was fifteen when lost her father.
He stayed by her side, when nobody else would bother.

Her prom date had dumped her, with a month left to spare.
She once again felt down, like nobody cared.

So as her good friend, he asked her to prom.
She of course said yes cause he was “da bomb”

He began to wonder, how to get enough money.
He was so far broke, it wasn’t even funny.
Then from facebook came a glimmer of hope.
From a spiky haired guy.. and a goat.
He was never good with words, but decided to try.
But his river of thought had surely run dry.
So he sat there and pondered, he couldn’t quit now.
He knew if he tried, he could do it somehow.

———————————————————————————-

I can’t believe how you look on this fine night.
The way your eyes, seem to sparkle in the moonlight.
The breeze feels like cool kisses on my face.
I wish we could stay here forever, right here in this place.
The rose gardens fill the air with their heavenly scent.
These perfections are something I couldn’t prevent.
The crickets serenade us with their beautiful song.
This night is so perfect, nothing can go wrong.
You look like an angel, your smile is breathtaking.
It seems like your old self is finally awakening.
This moment tonight is something I’ll forever value.
But there still is one thing I feel I must tell you.
I love you, and you know it’s true.
Your my best friend, am I yours too?
