Those Hose

There was a girl in seventh grade
Who let the top show on her hose
I was just fascinated to see
I didn't even know I liked those!

About that time was when I heard
"Is that right Pat?", from my teacher
I tore away my gaze to see
I had become, the main feature!

Out of the corner of my eye
"Legs" moved, a new bearing to assume
Great! Why now when...."PAT IS THAT RIGHT?",
Boomed loudly across the big room!

All eyes on me I had to think quick
It felt like my face was on fire
"Yes?", I said, being with quick wit
Could my mouth, be any drier?

Amazingly, he just moved on
From "legs" I got a cold hard stare
It was a very long hour
Before I could get out of there!

Yes, well it didn't take a lot to embarrass me so when there was just cause, it was very uncomfortable for me. If I could go back, it certainly wouldn't be that far!...80)

Well, I sure felt it that's for sure. Even though I felt it before, it still worried me that some horrible thing was going to happen that I didn't know about yet!....Life is hard for a new teen!...........80)

I've never really tried to favor one part over another, usually falling for what ever part was presented to me!!! I've always loved everything about women, except when you make them mad!!! Look out!!!..........Patrick

Yes, I suppose so. I was on the inside of it but I don't know how it could not have been quite red!.....80)

Thanks Tom. That's true, especially since many times I can't remember the name of a movie I watched yesterday!..80)
