It was just a tiny diner On a lonely one-way street Not much in the way of finery - Another place to eat Perhaps a cup of soup or pie or such From menus on the walls An iced tea if you're dry but not much Anything else at all. I saw her in the corner From the corner of my eye And felt like Jackie Horner With his finger in the pie. Her beauty set aside my hunger… She was perfect to a fault. I felt twenty-five years younger As my heart turned somersaults. I knew that I just had to have her As I watched her graceful stride And, with what courage I could gather, Turned and followed her outside. I guess she knew that I would follow. She was waiting in the street And my throat grew dry and hollow With my knees spaghetti-weak. She said she felt the same attraction That I felt, but, to my sorrow, Said if I would like some action, It would have to be tomorrow. She took a pencil from her pocket And wrote something on a card Then sent me shooting like a rocket As she reached and kissed me….hard. What can I say about that kiss she gave? I moaned with ecstacy And I was fighting not to misbehave As she was pressed to me. Her lips were so deliciously devine We could have kissed 'til dawn Then whispered, "Call me when you have the time…." Turned….and she was gone. It seemed I stood there an eternity. I felt so rooster proud. I took the card she handed me And read her name aloud. I loved her…I adored her How I loved her!! - Now I hate her! The card she gave read MARILYN - FEMALE IMPERSONATOR! |
