Those Five Boys

Location

Number 165616 was so shy and calm.

His eyes were like night

A luscious sound rang around

And filled the judges with delight

When they stopped him

They had not a doubt

He was a yes.

 

Number 57382 was nervous as hell

But he laughed it off and tried

His grin showed the world his great character

His voice had them all tied

After giving his soul, he was unsure

But the judges thought

He was a yes.

 

Number 165998 greeted with “Hello.”

The crowd adored his awkward appeal

His curly brown was so lush

That passion he gave was ideal

Cheers rang through his ears

And he grinned

He was a yes.

 

Number 232677 was out of the loop

An Irish boy with bleached blonde hair

Stood with a confident stance

His attitude and charm floated through the air

With some convincing words

Finally they answered

He was a yes.

 

Number 61898 had been here before

It didn’t work out last time

His booming voice shocked everyone

Proving a point was no crime

There were cheers and clapping

Every person there knew

He was a yes.

 

Although they made it, they didn’t go far

They sent each one home but not for long

Simon put them together, best friends for life

That was where they belong

 

 

They didn’t win the show

But they won the world’s heart

Now they are loved by millions

They’re topping the charts

 

Zayn, Number 165616

He’s got tattoos up his sleeves

And stubble lines his jaw

His fiance’s name is Perrie

His love is spray-painted on the walls

 

Louis, Number 57382

He has a beautiful girlfriend, Eleanor

And a professional soccer career

He’s starting to look so old to me

He’ll be twenty-two this year

 

Harry, Number 165998

He’s gotten so much taller

And has way too many tattoos

Single but cheeky as ever

But his life is plastered in the news

 

Niall, Number 232677

He’s never in the drama

And still waits to find his girl

You’ll hear his laugh from miles away

His jokes make you unfurl

 

Liam, Number 61898

He keeps his mates safe

And he’s the sweetest one of all

His smile could brighten anyone’s day

He has recovered from that fall

 

I love these boys with all my heart

And people say it’s silly

But I’d give them my life if I had to

They mean so much to me

I’ve stayed through all the madness

I’ve stayed through all the fun

No matter what may happen

I’ll never say goodbye to One Direction.
