PROMPT #9 via J. ELVIS WEINSTEIN

Write a song to or about the first TV character you ever had a crush on.

lyrics

Dear Beverly Leech
As Kate Monday, from Mathnet
I first met you when I was six and I thought that
If I were smart and I knew math and I was brave
And I watched all the faces in the mall, one of them would be yours
I didn’t know that TV wasn’t real
I didn’t know that Kate Monday wasn’t real

Dear Gillian Anderson
In your role as Dana Scully
(I never made it through House of Mirth, or Tristram Shandy)
You were smart, and you were five foot two and you didn’t need a boyfriend
To be awesome and I wrote about you in my college applications
I changed my hair because of you
I became a redhead because of you

And of course, Madeline Kahn
In just about everything you were on

Dear Christina Hendricks
Yes we know you were on Firefly
But in this case I mean your role as Joan Holloway
You brought sheath dresses back, you were both sexy and a pragmatist
And you taught me how to pour coffee while still being intimidatingly brilliant
You appeared when that was my job too
For those four years, that was my job too

And now I get to be
The best of you, plus best of me
And so I wanted to say thank you
