I didn’t really know what I should do.
Dad said, “you need to pull her close to you.”
When I tried to do like he told me to,
I made a mistake and stepped on her shoe.
She was so nice; she just gave me a wink.
I said to her, “could I get you a drink?”
She took a moment, then said, “sure I think?”
I said, “I’ll be right back, before you blink.”
We finished our drinks, she said, “let’s just talk.”
I bettered her offer with, “while we walk?”
The chaperon was watching like a hawk.
I said, “let’s go right now”, she didn’t balk.
We walked until it began to get dark,
Then we sat down on a bench in the park.
Later we left when we heard a dog bark.
We didn’t dance but we both left our mark.
