Anyone Game For a Girls Night Out
So Sheila and Mindy and Karen and Sue
Were anxious one Friday for something to do.
“We want something fun but we haven’t a CLUE!
And we all know the clubs are strictly TABOO!”
Mindy hollered out, “I’m so SORRY to say,
It’s too much TROUBLE at the end of the day!”
“LIKEWISE I’m exhausted, but we all need to play,”
Said Sheila rolling eyes in an upset way.
Then Sue spoke up with a timid inflection,
“I think speed dating would be just PERFECTION!”
A clatter of SPOONS showed Karen’s objection
“I’m married,” showing her ring’s bright reflection.
Then Sheila spoke out in a new, calming tone
“Let’s use our CRANIUMS to get in the zone!
“So just close your eyes and please shut off your phones,
Meditate, then SPEAK OUT on wisdom you’re shown.”
They all closed their eyes, some with AGGRAVATION
And sat HEARING THINGS of imagination
And as they pondered their weird OPERATION
Each found she cared less for the conversation.
In fact, when they opened their eyes, what a shock!
Ten hours had passed on Karen’s old kitchen clock!
Enough to BOGGLE their minds and their worlds rock
Agreeing next Friday’s Girls’ Night was a lock!
