"KNOCK,KNOCK!"
"Who's there?"
"It's your date!"
OH, great.
Let me get the meat out of my teeth-
And please let me brush my hair.
My dress! Is that a tear?
OHmy God! MY underwear!!
I'm running around
like I'm in a marathon...
Do I have time
to put more lipstick on??
And my date? Does he have zits?
Or warts? Or nose hair? Worse- does he shave his pits?
Maybe he's gorgeous like those singers-
hm..Maybe if I could let that thought linger....
But I don't have time!
He's pounding away-or is that my heart?
Anyway-it's time for the date to start!!
Cross my fingers, lick my lips, open the door...
AHHHHHHHH!!! I can't tell you any more!!!
(Guess what he is like..
Here's a hint-
It's NOT Brad Pitt!!!!)

Joy - I always wondered what the heck was going on when I came to pick up my dates - I love the light hearted spirit you showed in this poem.  It makes me wanna repost something I write some time ago.  great job of writing, Joy.

I was wondering what all that ruckus was in the dark.  This makes twice I have read the poem...but the first one was in the dark and all I could hear was the ruckus but no words to go with it.  Thanks for turning the light on.LOL....not that the other one's irony wasn't great.

Joy,

Somehow I don't doubt that all of what you described does actually happen.  A very creative poem and quite unique.  Great work.
