Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

It Only Takes One Letter

I can't believe it's happened
we're assigned both to this class
Cause I fell in love completely
in the hallway when you passed
Your hair, so bright and curly
you're lips so chase and pure
I hope my seat assignment 
would be very close to yours
But the teacher had a system
which proved to my regret
Your last name fell too far
down that bloody alphabet 
Out of thirty classroom chairs 
I never thought you'd be
sitting in the one, that's
directly behind me
For a year, I smelled your perfume
I heard your lovely voice
But I never turned around
to afraid to make that choice

Jan Allison July 15, 2016 at 2:33 PM aww jerry this is sad and they still have the same seating system in classes today - Incidentally I always sat at the back of the class my surname began with a Z lol:-) hugs Jan xx Jerry T Curtis July 15, 2016 at 2:38 PM Thanks Jan---There is something wrong with the system--as long as you have an A E I O for a second letter in your name you can do well----but that bloody U was always my undoing--Ha !
