Missed Opportunities

"Jim? Whatever happened with you and Lisa?"

"She doesn't wanna go out with me. Gave it a try."

"A try?"

"Yeah."

"'Gather ye rosebuds', you know what that means?"

"It's the first half of the first line of a poem by Robert Herrick."

"What's the second half?"

"While ye may"


Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime
You may forever tarry
