Short Ask Out Poems

For L Milton Hankins Eyes Only: Oh Go On Then

Dear Milt,

I said I would...

                         *

The eager young man was a loner
Too timid to ask out Ramona 
That outrageous flirt
Hitched up her short skirt 
He’s now got an enormous, er, um... AHA!.. Desire to phone her???

                         *

What do you reckon? Poet Laureate? Knighthood? Fame? Fortune?
Hmmm... who organises those stars in the sidewalk?
