Date at Arby's

Jealous Jillian meets zealous Philip at Arby’s.
With ONE green eye she spies his double-order curly fries,
No FUN when his French dip starts to drip on her Barbies.

She cleans them off and leans close in to his plate
SNEAKING a meager handful while eager Phil tries
to confess for the FREAKING mess he’s made of their date.

She orders Smokehouse Brisket; he GETS a gravy/biscuit.
PLUS as a “to go” surprise,  IT’S two apple pies.
THUS Phil walks Jill home. A goodnight kiss? will he risk it?

A cute story Poem! A nice use of the words. An Arby’s date, unusual, and yet memorable with two apple pies.

Thank you, Paige. The Barbies put them as middle school age, I hope.
