It was just a tiny diner On a lonely, one-way street. Not much in the way of finery Another place to eat. Perhaps a cup of soup or pie or such From menus on the wall, An iced tea if you're dry but not much Anything else at all. I saw her in the corner From the corner of my eye And felt like Jackie Horner With his finger in the pie. Her beauty set aside my hunger; She was perfect to a fault And I felt twenty-five years younger As my heart turned somersaults. Her features were magnificent! I really do believe A face like that was heaven sent. Then she got up to leave. I knew that I just had to have her As I watched her graceful stride And, with what courage I could gather, Turned and followed her outside. I guess she knew that I would follow. She was waiting in the street And my throat grew dry and hollow Both my knees, spaghetti weak. She said she felt the same attraction That I felt but, to my sorrow, Said if I would like some action, It would have to be tomorrow. She took a pencil from a pocket And wrote something on a card, Then sent me shooting like a rocket As she reached and kissed me, hard. What can I say about that kiss she gave? I moaned with ecstacy And I was fighting not to misbehave As she was pressed to me. Her lips were so deliciously devine We could have kissed til dawn, Then whispered, "Call me when you have the time.", Turned, and she was gone. It seemed I stood there an eternity. I felt so rooster proud. I took the card she handed me And read her name aloud. I loved her! I admired her! I adored her!... Now I HATE her! The card she gave read, MARILYN - FEMALE IMPERSONATOR!!  |

ROTF!!!!!!!!! What a hoot Balladeer!  *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

I remember this one as well Balladeer, and it is as funny tonight as it was when I saw it the first time  All my love, Jeffrey I lie awake in a world filled with dreams, but dreams can be so real when you don't know you're asleep |
