She was smug
‘Cause she had a man in a Mazda
Who wasn’t afraid to
Pull up in the circle k,
But she wanted him to get out
And go in with her,
And he wanted to stay outside 
And play on his phone.

So she went in,
And surveyed the case of cold energy drinks,
And didn’t see the kind she liked,
And wasn’t in the mood to try a new one,
So she hiked up her heart a little 
To show the clientele 
Just what they were missing,
Then waltzed back out to the Mazda 
To giver her old man hell
All the way back home.

But he noted her face,
And considered the possibility that 
Negative displacement may exist
In physics after all,
And asked , as she got into the car,
If she might like to try
The new donut place in town,
And she said no,
But she wouldn’t mind trying
Krispy Kreme donuts again.

And Mr. Mazda just took her over there
Lickety split,
Without further ado,
And it was nothing new under the sun.
There never is,
Except negative displacement 
In physics, maybe.
