Maggie Kissed Me!!
A Tea Party....she drug me into this nonsense
...I'd follow her to the end of the earth
Slight pang of jealousy surfaces discovering we're not alone
A tattered bear and a ragdoll with a flopping button eye
rounded out the guest list...stealing our privacy!
I've never hated anyone more than now...
Her accent was faux-brit...At the time I didn't get it
Maggie set the table...a tree stump, purposely graceful
Chin raised up and out...all a part of the production
All the while I watched fascinated
My hands pressed firmly between my knees
Setting a pink plastic plate with cake
She giggled playfully...
... knowing this was a tortured day for me
I'd devour mountains of invisible cake,
sip tiny cups of tea that wasn't there
To smell those flowers in her hair
Maggie left me sitting to conversate with "Bear" and "Bonnie"
...dreading the horror of a pop-in by Tommy and Johnny
I could only imagine them rolling in the grass...
Pointing at the scene, roaring with laughter
running after to make a neighborhood broadcast!!
As I pictured the horrific scene, Maggie crept behind me
soft hands cupped over my eyes "Surprise"!!
As I turned to speak...she puckered sweet and layed it on me!!
Taken aback...I'd no idea how to react
Face flushed, I blushed and ran away
Later that day...She appeared at the edge of my lawn
We went to the creek and looked for turtles...
