Alluring Reputation

Alluring Reputation He tried to lure me to his roost Judging me by my outer shell He sought a conquest – ego boost But my faith soon made his life hell First base? Okay, yes, we shared a kiss I cringed when he let his hands roam But then I said, “Listen to this! The ref isn’t calling you home.” I knew that sex without marriage Had been forbidden by my church To me it was a sacrilege I walked away, left him in the lurch This big man on campus now feared No gals would find him alluring What would he do if rumors cleared? Torment he would be enduring Couldn’t even reach second base And as I continued to date One boy saw my heart, not my face The loser just used the wrong bait *For Paula’s “The Allure of a Lure is Alluring” contest
