Dance card
Why did those words leap off the monitor at me?
Such tension, such angst,
staring at the unfilled line
on the little cardboard palm tree
(The theme was Evening in Paradise)
I dropped my pencil on the way over
to ask MaryBeth
to be line three
and by the time I arrived
(after Bobby Whathisname left)
her dance card was full.
I drank punch and watched them whirling.

PS okay, sorry, back to the frivolity
ooooh, nice curtains you got here, gus. and the backseat is so comfy with all that straw around.
hey, who's that perv peeking in?!
eh, let'em look, it's like a national geographic channel. so much to learn, so little time.
purrrrrrr.
Those words popped off your monitor for a reason, Joe.
The first dance is yours.
