  Prom night finally is here 
orchid pinned on dress
  Nervous anticipation
Attempting to be grown up...

Miss Lee Ding met Mister Chance
When he asked her for a dance
It was not his shoes
That gave her the blues
But how did he wet her pants?...

Ah, Prom! I remember it well
      how my excitement did swell

    Would I be asked by a girl or a boy
      or maybe an ‘undecided,’ oh joy!...

A chance of going to the prom can be so sublime
Spare no expense, even if it is your last dime
It's worth the money
Remember honey
Unlike marriage, you can only do it one time!...

At my prom, I was a flower on the wall
To fade into obscurity I wanted to crawl
Shy and withdrawn
In my gown of chiffon
Scared of the girlies, I wasn't enthralled...

pink and white petals
soft and velvety to touch
a lovely orchid

adorning the suit
of a young man in the prom
as a boutonniere
 
delicate flower
of exotic loveliness
growing in the wild...

Last night she was a senior prom princess
Wearing a ball gown Cinderella would have envied 
This morning she felt like a troll
Who had been run over by a Mack truck

ROSE
fragrant 
summer bloom
 
the corsage she wore
on the night of our prom
was baby's breath and roses

"a blushing brides wedding bouquet"

Hanging from a white gold chain
black and dancing with light
a mysterious legend
a young prom queen's deepest wish
for just the span of a night
to wear a prize such as this 
the painted diamond necklace...

A cowlick springs up
  right when it shouldn't
Can a comb strike it down
  I'm afraid it couldn't

An application of grease
  looks to keep the peace
'Til - drat - it springs up again
  ~ I think you know when...

Murder at the Prom

Frankie Lyman shrilled his falsetto.
Gwendolyn Gould danced in stilettos.
So callously smothered,
they never recovered.
Poor little piggies, scrunched little toes.

My wife gave birth 3 times, still fits into her prom dress
Don't fit into my trousers from last March, kinda depressed
What's her damn secret
Only eats peanuts?
And once in a while a couple of grapes of the meagerest...

She should come out of the closet her mother said.
Her daddy was horrified, thinking she meant something else.
She came out in her own sweet time, wearing a snazzy prom dress.
You look terrific, her Daddy said, wondering about her now....

Exuberant; wild in love. 
Naïve in hopeful Dreams
But oh so sweet did Passion flow.
Dreams floated from your palms
In glowing waves to flow
Across my curves.
We were proud and haughty in sexual confidence,
Gliding on the center of our own universe...

he's with his prom queen
but what he doesn't know
is that she's the prom queen
that's really just a pawn
she's just a pawn 
that's gotten around more

long live the king
hope he pawns off his queen
when she reaches the other team
and finds herself checkmate...
