The First Dance

The first dance My outing into the big world was to go every Saturday to the local cake shop eat cakes and drink coffee But now I had to go to a dancehall I noticed there were several women no one asked to dance I asked one of them she said no, I asked the second one She said not too, totally destroyed I looked for the exit. Surprisingly there was a woman by the exit who said yes Without being asked. My dignity restored I danced with her several times There was an alehouse near she wanted to go there And I was only too happy that a woman spoke to me. She drank several beers and when I asked to go back She told me to off. I walked home alone
