~*Three Little Words*~ I saw him walking up the street All dressed up just for me...how sweet And in his hand, what could it be? Perhaps it is a gift...we'll see Anticipation filled my heart My eyes from him could not depart Perhaps tonight will be the night Three little words would sure delight One last glance around the room No clear signs of impending doom It's all prepared, and now I wait To see his face and tempt my fate The door bell rings...my insides jump I think I heard my heart go 'thump'! Opened the door, my face now red "I've been waiting for you.", I said He looked at me and smiled back I tried to peek into his sack "I've brought some friends with me tonight I hope they haven't caused a fright" I grinned and told him it was fine "There's plenty here for all to dine Come on in and help yourselves Just set your bags up on the shelves" I must admit that I was miffed That in his bag there was no gift And why on earth would he invite these strangers to our special night But soon my anger took a turn The reason you're about to learn You see, I had my dates confused And thinking back I'm quite amused Three little words he finally said But no...not those...these words instead He spoke to me in voice so sweet "It's Halloween, dear..'Trick or treat'"! ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 10-31-2001).] |
