Zero to Thirty-Five

Going back in tme
when I was 12 years old
and living in Japan,
it was summertime
and we were playing
coed neighborhood baseball
and as I allowed a neighbor girl
to arrive safely at second she told me to
see her after the game was over.
So after the game we got together
and she said "Lets take a walk."
Seems she knew how to gain access
through a window to a storage
room at the school.
Once inside we settled in
behind some boxes to talk
and the conversation
wasn't so much about baseball,
she said that she wanted
to teach me how to kiss:
one kiss led to another
and I must have went
from zero to thirty-five
kisses in one afternoon.

"I could have tagged her out
but I wanted to give her a break."

This has me smiling broadly, dear James. That was a lovely lesson and brought back memories of my own related to counting kisses in a park of Zurich

Very nice.
