First Date

FIRST DATE Her name was Judy McCormick, she was fourteen - barely I was also fourteen, but claimed to be fifteen She was slim, pretty with shortish dark brown hair, Almond eyes, loveliest I'd ever seen And a soft sweet smile, I just knew she would be nice Noticed her in the movies, one glance followed another Found ourselves laughing at the same things we’d see After the theatre walked her home with her little brother Would she come again next week with me ? She said yes. I felt ten feet tall We met at the theatre as arranged, it had rained We went dutch. I bought her ice cream after a while. We watched Steve Reeves in HERCULES UNCHAINED Cant recall the plot, only her eyes and smile Kissed her secretly in the dark - salty, gently. In those days sex hadn’t been invented. We walked home hand in hand and kissed again at her door Yeah, corny, improbable, but true - virginity undented How did the first date end? We both were delighted and more With ourselves and decided to arrange another date. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
