101. The Date

I should be working
But here I sit sunken in my chair

My mind has left my brain
And wanders somewhere over there

I try to regroup and get in gear
But last night really was too great

Though I don’t remember much
I could swear it was better than a first date

We started off with smiles and roses
An appetizer and had a cocktail or two

We hit the dance floor at twelve o’clock
Sometime later I think you lost a shoe

Things got foggy mostly in my car
That darn gear shift got in the way

Then like two teenagers we got in back
And started just to kiss and play

Before the night was over
We did things that make me now blush

Aside from being interrupted by the police
It really was a great rush

But then I lost track of time
My memory hasn’t quite recovered

Even sex after twenty years is great
When there’s a fear of being discovered
