The First Kiss
THAT FIRST REAL KISS, BOY A LONG TIME AGO,
CAUGHT ME QUITE FRANKLY BY SURPRISE.
I’D NEVER DONE ANY THING EXACTLY LIKE THAT,
I JUST COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES.
SLOWLY, WITH THE LOOK OF AN ANGEL,
SHE EASED RIGHT UP TO MY SIDE.
SAID, LET’S BLOW THIS PARTY WE’RE VISITING,
COME ON, LET’S GO FOR A RIDE.
I STEPPED RIGHT INTO HER CAR,
DUMBFOUNDED, CONFUSED AND IN SHOCK.
I DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT I WAS DOING,
WHAT I NEEDED WAS TO TALK TO DR. SPOCK.
SHE SLID THE CAR INTO A DARK DRIVEWAY,
EASED OVER AND LOOKED ME IN THE EYE.
AND SMILED A SENSEOUS SMILE,
SHE WASN’T THE LEAST BIT AT ALL SHY.
SHE REACHED HER SLENDER ARMS AROUND ME,
AND PULLED ME TENDERLY TO HER.
AND WHISPERED INTO MY BLUSHING EAR,
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KISSED KIND SIR?
WELL, WORDS DIDN’T FILL MY LUNGS,
NUMB, I THINK IS HOW I FELT.
NEXT TO HER, IF I WERE AN ICEBERG,
I KNEW GOOD AND WELL I WOULD MELT.
HER SWEET TENDER LIPS TOUCHED MINE,
AND MY BRAIN EXPLODED INTO.
I DID WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE WOULD DO,
I TENDERLY KISSED HER BACK, TOO.
IT SEEMED LIKE HOURS HAD PASSED,
BUT I’M PRETTY SURE IT WAS ONLY A SECOND OR TWO.
WE LOOKED EACH OTHER IN THE EYE,
AND DID, DO WACKY DO WAKEY DO.
SO ENDED THE DRAMA OF MY FIRST KISS,
SORT OF LIKED IT; THERE’S NO DOUBT.
I THINK WHEN I FINALLY GOT BACK HOME,
I JUMPED UP, SKIPPED AND BEGIN TO SHOUT
