DATING GAME YEARS AFTERI'm married our first Valentines day The wife greets me at the front door She hands me this heart shaped card I see the envelope on the table Lipstick kisses end to end and hearts "You're going to have to explain this?" Through all the mushy remarks I read the name "Oh, that's really nothing that was Larry's girlfriend." There was picture enclosed, she is still beautiful "I will call your bluff!" and she hands me the phone I hear a voice. She has already dialed the phone "It's for you!" "Dear, I would love to meet you!" Wife whispers, "I invited her to come over." "You what?" My wife is devious and sure of herself I find myself giving directions on the phone The phone rings. She is lost two blocks away I find her in a phone booth, she pulls me in. She is oblivious to the red light nearly killing us At the apartment the two girls a giggling forgetting me *End of story. I introduced her to my best friend. He is in love she is not. She disappears in the night It is like being haunted. Will she someday return? I hope not the wife loves making me look silly Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
