Let's Hear It

During my time at high school
I never once broke any rule
I was quiet and shy
Didn’t flirt with a guy
Even if I thought he was cool
 
 
I was never ever great at sport
Even though it was subject taught
I was so very short
That on the netball court
I couldn’t reach the hoop and scored naught!

At college I met a cute guy
Both of us were terribly shy
We went out to a gig
But he lit up a cig
I hate smoking - I wanted to cry!

Contest:- Let’s Hear it
Sponsor:- Judy Konos
