Poem Title:
Poem
I was wondering how it happened, That we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. We had gone there without thinking of anything but love, Love so true, so deep, so fine. We had gone to the hotel the night before, She was to be my true and only one. We embraced each other that night as husband and wife, And planned to continue until the rising sun. I had prepared it well, at least I thought, A great dinner, show, and then Champaigne. She added her own personal touch for me, A hot, slinky, pink, see-thru negligee. Oh, I was aroused, to say the least, The Champaigne wasn't the only thing to pop! Then, in the midst of our doing as lovers do, We lost our focus and had to stop. Something was amiss there in the night, Just what I could not tell. Her countenance changed so rapidly, From tender lover... to demon from hell. In a funny way I felt so strange, I knew she had felt it too. But the testosterone in me just had to ask, "Did the Earth Move for You?" She looked at me with mouth agape, "How could you ever ask that of me? When we are alone on our honeymoon, Thousands of miles from home, here in Chile." "Of course the earth moved for me, Do you think I have no feelings at all?" "Of course you do!", said I in sheepish reply, "Did you hear something coming from the hall?" We both got dressed quickly then, And we bolted for the door. As the earth had moved for everyone, The shaking was coming from the floor. I had never experienced an earthquake you see, So my natural thought was that it was me. But when that building started to shake, I had to take it more seriously. We got to the street just in time, As the hotel fell into a heap. Yet there I was with only the clothes on my back, And a newlywed bride...I guess I would keep. "Did the Earth Move for You?"
