Prom Knight

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?

Going To the Prom

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!

Premium Member prom stuff

she loves her tiara and satin gown
he’s in a stiff tuxedo, feels like a clown
another mismatched couple, who will marry after prom
thinking they are in love, a small world they live on

At the Prom

tthe night
was bright
some wore white
it was very cool
they played the blues
also it was on the 
news
about our  school
there also was gleaming
lights
it was  a run of  fun

PROM

Off to the prom went Archie
Wore his fancy collar extra starchy
Stretched his neck an extra inch or two
Danced with Betty and Veronica till his feet were blue

Premium Member Tales From Prom Night

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

Premium Member Murder At the Prom

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.

Picture At Prom

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

Heads Nikko Will You Go To Prom

Nikko…will you go?
Will you go to prom?
Will you go to prom?

No?

Prioritizing?  Gym!  Kickboxing!  Golfing! No Nikko!

Prom

Stuck between two girls on prom night
sometimes I just feel like I'm a shining knight
in the darkness there's no sight
between what is wrong and what is right.

I shall choose the one I love
the one who flies like a dove
in my heart and in my own little cove
stood I in the empty fiesta grove.

Prom

In this moment
The vibrations of the music
Mimic our rising pulses
Shimmering light
Glistens across your flawless skin
I lean closer just to grasp the scent
Of your restlessness, your flawed innocence
This could be the most perfect moment
The last of that we share together
Take my hand and grip my soul
I give it all to you
The last bit of control

Premium Member The Prom

The big day arrived and no date for the prom.
      My fairy godmother came to my rescue;
         A cool suit, stylish haircut so I wouldn't boom,
            I was the hit of the prom I can tell you.

   I walked across the dance floor and every girl
      Hypnotized with my smile and improved hip hop moves.
         Their heads in a whirl and their toes in a curl
            They were all dancing to the latest smooth grooves.
