I was all decked out for the nightclub quite a few years ago red jumpsuit, red heels and earrings i sat listening to the music of The Police my husband was busy talking football at the other end of the table think he forgot i was there as the disco ball lit up the stage we were sitting far from the dance floor far from the limelight a table at the end of a wall to wall bar i was hid back in the corner where i could hardly see i could tell it was going to be a boring night while i sipped my Chablis until a John Travolta look alike tapped me on the shoulder he was even dressed in white i thought why not..i came here to dance not listen to football scores all night so i got up and he followed me to the dance floor it was uninterrupted music i followed him like his shadow but i knew it was time to go when my husband tapped him on the shoulder i thought this is the story of my life even in my dreams, my husband is saying "Is it ok if i dance with my wife?"

LOL, I loved this one, especially that ending. And who wouldn't want to dance with a John Travolta style dancer? You must have dazzled everyone all decked out in red. It's a good thing hubby finally saw the score! |

You pushed his button good for you! Whooo Hooo, way to get him to pay attention girl. Cute poem, and I remember those disco balls, how cool a time was that? The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |
