Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Be reasonable lads, this is not a serious thread, if I wanted serious I’d take up politics or religion, plenty of other threads for that, now please kiss and make up and get on with it, life’s too short for arguing.
Seeing that love is in the air, I am reminded of my first date, real official date that is.
I stood waiting at the corner, all done up to the nines
A sharp crease in me trousers, with precision lines
Glancing at the watch I got on the never never
Come on Girl why are you taking forever?
Fifteen minuted later, and still no sign of my date
Think I’ll go back home and have a drink with my mate
Then her hall door opens and she bids her Mother farewell
“Be home before twelve or your dad will give you hell”
I was meant to hear this, to fill me up with fear
And I cried back that I got the message, loud and clear.
We missed the bus into Town and stood there wondering what to do
Then she goes and tells me she’s lost the heel of her shoe
“This wouldn’t have happened if you had tried to be a little faster
Now the whole night has turned into a disaster”
We went back to her house where she changed her shoes
Went up to the local flea house where there’s never any Queues.
I said it was like Lourdes when we were inside talking
If you went in crippled you’d come out walking
I got her home at half past eleven
And that was the start of a marriage made in heaven.
You see folks what could have ended up in a row and a split up didn’t, faith took a hand and we had a good time in the old cinema, I might add the following Friday night she was bang on time.
