Bon Anniversaire

As I walk out into the street on a bright night in my dark brown suit, blinking neon lights,whistling breeze with horns of cars buzzing through the night, I walk into the hotel lounge expecting to see the creme-de la-creme in the business world there, The waiter greets*"Bon jour monsieur" and directs me into the hall, The hall is full of people I could barely see due to the dim blue sparkling light, Then,*Voila-a bright light surfaced suddenly, As Vikky walks into the hall, Shouts of *'Bon anniversaire' echoe through the air, Today is Vikky`s twenty-fifth birth day; *"Joyeux anniversaire a' vous,Joyeux anniversaire a' vous, Joyeux anniversaire,Joyeux anniversaire,Joyeux anniversaire a' vous" Hip!hip!hip! hurray! with a rapturous applause.... My heart keeps racing,for I don`t know how to present my gift to her; She is my love;my jewel! but I`m afraid of her *laissez-faire attitude from parents, She is a french-african,and all her family members are present here; I was lost in thought,when the waiter tapped me, *'Monsieur 'and present me with a glass of creme de menthe ;I hurriedly gulp it down, and summon up courage, as I feel strong sensation vibrating through my entire body;my body is on fire! I approach her slowly... with my gift pack inside my suit pocket... Trembling and sweating... I hope,she says 'Yes!'. *Bon jour--Good day(morning or afternoon) *Bon anniversaire--Good/Nice celebration *Monsieur--Mister *creme-de la-creme--the best people or things of their kind *creme de menthe--a strong sweet alcohol made from MINT *laissez-faire--policy of allowing private businesses to develop without government control OR parents giving their children to much freedom. *"Joyeux anniversaire a' vous,Joyeux anniversaire a 'vous,Joyeux anniversaire, Joyeux anniversaire,Joyeux anniversaire a 'vous"--Happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you,happy birthday,happy birthday,happy birthday to you....
