Poet's Dozen

young man new in town
all of the girls on alert
amazed he chose me

Some of them were wittier.
A few of them were prettier.

He asked to take me to the movies.
I blushed as I said yes.

"Gone With The Wind" was showing.
and Clark Gable was the star
My date had no way of knowing
I thought him handsomer by far,
until I told him in the car.
