My Dad Did Not Want To Roller Skate
My dad’s car was on the fritz
He got talked into roller skating.
I am twenty-two he argued.
Too old for it.
But they could walk there.
He noticed a young woman.
She could really skate.
Like him.
He kept watching her.
A voice said “She is the one”.
He had been looking for a wife.
He pursued her like a tiger.
Made friends with her brothers.
Stopped by his cousin’s place of business.
Where she worked as a secretary.
She tried to ignore him but it did not work.
They were married in January.
