Compromising Positions

A night that truly almost never came A number that I almost never called And yet when I look back I am enthralled Since then my life has never been the same We met and I knew nothing but your name How could I plan when nothing, I recalled My nerves had taken over and I stalled I never knew just how to play this game I thought I’d just be safe for our first date So I suggested dinner and a flick A comedy should somehow do the trick But, oh the choice of food was not so great Though compromised, I made it through the night And not one memory would I rewrite 1/24/18 Contest: A First Date Sponsor: Brenda Chiri "Compromising Positions" is a 1985 comedy starring Susan Sarandon. It wasn’t a great movie but one that I will never forget.
