DATING GAMEOne should never destroy the days of youth It was then we played the dating game Not well for I set off not many a flame You see my best friend set the rules "I am in love!" he would say, "Shes not for you" This meant hands off for the other guy Two girls, he was in love with the pretty one. I never so easily made the claim of love So this at nineteen how the story had begun We met two girls, mine had eyes for him Black wavy hair, Southern accent, I couldn't win Born in Baton Rogue moved west at age of three "You all" "Mam", a Southern dude he would be Took the girls to a drive in movie, in love were three Alone really, in the back seat was just me! His girl,chosen black haired beauty flirted with me But she was his girl an honorable man I am you see One day his girl called, I thought it strange You see no further date with her did he arrange! She said, "Why love, don't you come over and see me?" Like I said an honorable boy I am Larry's girl she be She added, "I am in the bath just as I am I will come to you!" Yeah, as I say I am dumb not stupid not a fool The doorbell rang and Dad went down to answer When he came back a message to me he did in anger referred "I don't know who the tramp is but get rid of her!" Now in my day Dad's were somewhat, a bit--OK, a prude! Coming from the bath threw open her robe for dad--quite,rude! *Probably no one wants to hear the story of when she returned ten years later, I was married, and sent me a Valentine days card covered in lips and red lipstick kisses and my wife said, "I'll call your bluff invite her over!" And I said, "She was Larry's girl not mine." I call it, "I was attacked in a phone booth." If it perks anyone's interest I will write it. Scary thing, my love poems are not made up.
