Poem
I saw this young boy standing there, and much to my dismay Had a pretty young thing with him, so it sort of wrecked my day Now I was slightly older, but does that really count It is years of experience, that adds to some amount I noticed when they parted, my heart took quite a leap Gave her a healthy cuddle, but only kissed her on the cheek Now she could be related, and I can ply my wares Don't step where I'm not wanted, not that anybody cares I need to make a contact, but not frighten him to death I sit down on a park bench, pretend I'm out of breath I sit there heavy breathing, from the corner of my eye I see him looking quite concerned, seems to wonder why Comes close and then just stands there, at a loss for what to say I will need to help him now, or he may be on his way I look up and he sees red eyes, I gave them quite a rub I was like a she wolf, looking at a young bear cub Can I help you, were his first words, I thought, I have you now I completely cut off his retreat, over time I have learnt how Could you get some water, from the bag that I have there To get him trapped completely, give him a chance to care He sat down there beside me, my heart took another leap I reached out and took his hand, his interest to keep I can't think what's come over me, and it's quite a long way home If you're not busy could you help me, may not make it on my own Or course, he said, I'll get a cab, I said can you drive a car Mine is in the car park, and it's not so very far He assured me he would help me, would drive me to my house I felt just a little guilty, about playing cat and mouse But the devil takes the hindmost, I was well on my way I had blocked him in a corner, was not much that he could say Even if he wanted to, there was now no escape Had to stifle my excitement, so he couldn't call it rape You'll get no more information, I do not kiss and tell Except to say one thing of course, the trap worked very well There was something that once I heard, the best thing you can do Is chase a date with all your heart, until he catches you
