Letting Your Hair Down

Me and my sweetheart 
Went out on a date
We were just Kids
With no money to spend

After strolling for a while
We stopped in a desert alley
“Let’s park here” he said…
It was a library parking lot, for chrissake!!

It was night, the streets desert
Then we start to make out
Kisses here, kisses there
I heard a sudden noise and got scared

It was a loud bang 
Right on my window
My heart was beating so loud
I thought it would blow out

There was someone outside 
Trying to open my door
I could see a gun thru the glass
I was too freaked out to process

Then I heard the shout…
“Police, get out!”

I took a deep breath and opened my door
On jelly legs I got out of the car
The officer wanted my docs
I was so screwed if my mom found out

My sweetheart was great
And convinced the cops
To not press charges 
Or calling our parents

The night ended like that
But I got the scare
OF A LIFETIME… right there!

White Wolf January 24, 2017 at 4:44 AM Our cops don't pull guns out on us unless they intend to shoot you! Great poem, Claudia! Claudia Polydoro January 24, 2017 at 5:08 AM Here they approach any "suspicious" car with their guns at hand... lol... in that case, he was using the gun to bang on my window... I was pretty sure we were about to get robbet until I realize it was the police... lol... I'm happy you liked it :)

Daniel Turner January 23, 2017 at 9:05 AM The first rule of "parking and petting" is make certain you are outside of city limits where the police have no jurisdiction. Believe me, your parents already know, Claudia. Lol Fun read, brought back a couple of memories:) Claudia Polydoro January 23, 2017 at 4:24 PM Daniel, actually I think my parents have no idea of this "episode" :) But they'll know when i post the poem on my facebook... lol - and we tried the "outside of city limits" with a result a little more disastrous... hahahahahaha... But that's another story... :P I'm happy you enjoyed the poem, Daniel... Thanks for stopping by - Hugs :D

CayCay Godwin January 22, 2017 at 2:12 PM I'm sure nothing like this ever happened to me. Cough Cough I know your heart did quicken and the parent fear factor was not a good detractor! Enjoyable, Claudia. Now, are you showing this write to your parents or children? I'm kidding. Good luck in the contest and all else ... CayCay Claudia Polydoro January 22, 2017 at 3:31 PM Hahaha I'm pretty sure it never happened to you, CayCay ;) And yes, I'll post it on Facebook (of course I'll deny to my mom that it's a true story) lol - lucky that I've no kids to follow our example - hahaha - thanks and Hugs :*
