Poem
She was from one side of the ocean Where the people were busy Hustling, bustling Busy, was she He was from the other side of the ocean Where life was a bit slower Moseying along Slower, was he It was in a metropolis they both had worked Employed by the same company, same payer He dreamed of climbing the ladder to success She dreamed of the knights from her prayers It was a corporate event, all were gussied up Dancing, mayhem, the gossip, even the frill He was bored with the same old same old She was taken by someone in for the kill He left the scene quickly headed for the door She was cornered by one, for whom she had no eye He headed for a bar across the street with friends She was thankful a friend had pulled her bye bye It was at the bar he noticed her presence She, too, noticed him, giving him the eye He said to the barkeep, “drinks, for all here” She knew she had to meet him, lest she’d die He, slowly, but assured, walked toward her She pretended not to see and turned away He said, “Hello, how are you this evening?” That was all he ever had to say. They talked for hours, shot the breeze Had more drinks, then made some plans He called a car for her, to get home safe They kissed a little and held hands It was a night he will remember It was a night she’d never forget They are grateful, now they’re married That was the night that they had met
