First Date

Well! I remember the first date I was a teenage boy I picked her up in the car had to wait for her she was late She finally came out I open the door she sat down I close the door I said where would you like to go She replied " let's go downtown to the Olive Garden" So we arrived I parked, we went inside we set at the middle booth People all around us people laughing, chattering, talking To me so dischanting and so alarming It sounded a little uncouth I spied over there's a man yelling at his date Maybe his wife, girlfriend who knows I don't know, all I know I almost wanted to go The waitress came I ordered fish This was our first date it was good but it wasn't great She ordered steak I can hardly imagine entrenched in the silence As I sat wondering was the lettuce fresh yuk So I took a sip of water and I kept on looking at her this girl Soon-to-be woman my mate So we finished the meal I held her seat as she rose I let her lead trying to still be a gentleman Got to the car once again held the door open for her She sat down and buckled in I walked around the back of the car sat down and drove away went to a show we both wanted to go to a movie had to hurry it was for two and a half hours didn't want to be late this was our first date 08/16/2017 by James Edward Lee Sr
