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

"Compromising Positions" is a 1985 comedy starring Susan Sarandon.
It wasn’t a great movie but one that I will never forget.
