First Date
I watched discretely as the thirty something
couple struggled through an obvious first date
His manners were impeccable and her
appreciation showed as little by little
they warmed to each other
Encouraged by the progress he mentioned politics
"I think that we should make it a rule
to not discuss politics on our first date"..and he smiled
She smiled back, "I agree wholeheartedly! That Trump is such a jerk
it might put a damper on the evening!"
"I worked on his campaign."said he.
"Oh." said she
Talk became small just before it stopped altogether
I left there that night grateful for my old age!
