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....”Haven’t I seen you here before?”

< !signature-->

 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

Butterflies, your good, really loved this. Nice twist, our best lines just disappear when our eyes light up and our heart skips a beat..... I usually faint. Of course I tell them after I've never talked to a Goddess before. Thanks for the smile.....

Girl this one got me.  I don't use lines... hell.. I usually don't try to "pickup" women at all... that's probably why I'm single huh?  But anyways... I enjoyed it, thanks.
