My Most Embarrassing Moment
Shy and awkward, it was my first week at University
I was on the sidewalk in front of a house of fraternity.
I tried to ignore the wolf whistles and flirting remarks
from guys in windows yelling, tongues wagging in barks.
I felt the heat rising in my face. I hated it when I blushed,
but then the jeering stopped. From the house all was hushed.
I felt a hand tap me on the shoulder and I dropped my books.
One look at the windows and I saw leers and lusty looks.
"Let me help you," spoke a deep voice. I was petrified
when he pulled up my fallen skirt. I was totally mortified.
He was a brother from the fraternity who saw my plight.
I wanted to dig a deep hole and bury myself from his sight.
But he picked up my books and said, "I'll walk you to class.
Don't be embarrassed by those idiots, sweet little lass."
I survived that nightmare because of that kind Irish man.
He became my loving husband. I swear it wasn't a plan!
