Shirley Rebstock Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

This was written for Richard Lamoureux's contest.  The poem of his,  I related to as soon as I read it, was Best Pick Up LIne.  It just brought back a funny memory of a fellow when I was about 18yrs old, in my neighborhood.  Hopefully, I presented it properly.  I made the first verse to respond to how I felt about Richard Lamoureux's poem Best Pickup Line, "You are so beautiful, forgive me for staring.  The rest is my memory.

My Name Is Roland Do You Want To Go Bowling

My Name Is Roland, Do You Want To Go Bowling
              chosen to relate to  Richard Lamoureaux's Poem
              Best Pickup Line 
                                  Best Pick Up Line

You are so beautiful forgive me for staring
It might woo me if I thought he was sincerely caring
However, my first thought, he has used this line before
Although, flattered, I would head for  the door

Hi Shirley, my name is Roland,
 do you want to go bowling
Best pickup line I ever had 
outside the washeteria by an Italian lad

Popping a willy, his bike on one wheel
I couldn't help but laugh, he is too funny I feel
So who told you my name
 The clerk at the drugstore was to blame
Well not today, I don't think so
Maybe another day, I will let you know

Then one day I was walking home
He was sitting in his truck with silver chrome
Suddenly, he jumped in front of me offering me a ride
I loved his sense of humor, I have to confide

Only three blocks to my home 
In his fancy truck with chrome
He grabbed and kissed me and I could see how this was gonna go
I laughed and  pushed him away and said, “ I don't believe so.”

So no Roland, no bowling, just my favorite pickup line
A smile and laugh I can't hold back at this funny memory of mine
