A Class In "Smooth" A night on the town, just me and a few A dab here, a dusting there, and we’re ready to down a few Ready to dance and have some fun Who knows when you might find “the one” But alas the usual lines begin to flow From “haven’t I seen you before” to “take me with you when you go” I started to ponder upon the third come on half baked That perhaps these men needed a class to take Come one Come all to a class in Smooth 101 I’ll show you rogues just how it’s done Look at my eyes not at my chest Take some notes there will be a test The class went well and they all seemed to learn Then came the Final Test, each waited his turn One at a time my student’s gave their best line And one after another my Pupil’s did shine All passed with flying colors the class a success They learned to use words like an intimate caress Out on the town just me and few Walk in the doors, I spot a student or two Then a stranger with hair of gold and eyes of blue walked up to me...I was shaken clean through He said he had never seen a sparkle quite like mine and asked to share a moment of my time Now I the Professor of Smooth 101 knew the lines galore So drawing on my vast knowledge I uttered....”Uhhhhh...Haven’t I seen you here before?” (repost from open 7) [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 09-04-2000).] |

I will gaze into your eyes instead of your chest As long as you wear no name tag to make me fail my test. Loved it much my friend....now where do I sign up for the class? [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 09-03-2000).] |

Loved this- might I suggest a few more hackneyed lines:"What's your sign?" "What's a beautiful thing like you doing in a place like this?" Or the more direct egocentric: "Your place or mine?" I can remember a fun lady I met in a meatmarket - The twinkle was mutual - so we spent the night exchanging cliches until I said "I'm the guy your mother warned you about" LOL |
