TWENTY - Part the Second

Psixpence is a contemporary of mine: a dear poetic friend, and occasional adversary when we indulge in poetic duels. I managed to persuade her to join me in a modern love story, to date a happy tale, but who knows. Thank you Penny.

I couldn't believe my own words
Couldn't believe what I'd just said
But this gorgeous feisty bird
Had sent shock waves to my head
So we chatted there for hours
Like we'd been good mates for years
And when we left together
It was to our friends' combined cheers

Now when he'd said ‘go steady'
My knees had gone quite weak
So he led me to a corner
And we both began to speak,
We seemed to get on really well
Although I still was wary
But as he walked me home that night
My feelings were quite scary!

She was charming she was smart
She was delicious she was neat
And before I really knew it I was dancing
with joy around her in the street
for all the night's smart banter
had for me dried up and gone
and I really wanted her to know
she was pretty much a very special one

He was handsome, he was funny
I was almost in a trance,
I was charmed and quite delighted
When he began to dance
In circles all around me
In the middle of the street,
And for all his macho chat -up lines
He really was quite sweet.

She was laughing with me
As I danced more and more
Danced right down her street
To her own front door
I said tonight was extra special
We'll have more and more like this
See you here tomorrow babe
And now I claim my goodnight kiss

I'd never met a lad like him
I found him quite exciting
And when he claimed a goodnight kiss
His smile was so inviting,
I closed my eyes and held my breath
Until his lips met mine
And the magic of that moment
Sent shivers down my spine!
