NIGHT OUT.

NIGHT OUT.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A MAN HAS PROBLEMS GETTING A DATE WITH WOMEN

"
Sure
he had it all in mind
the way he was going
to approach her

how he was going
to get the date
fixed up and maybe
other things along

the line if he caught
her right but Hogdig
got it wrong
right from the start

she wasn't into men at all
she preferred her own kind
of the same gender
but at least he tried

and came out
with the usual spiel
gave the usual
facial expressions

gestures of hands
and smiles and all
but the dame didn't fall
she had her own agenda

and he wasn't it
not one bit
so Hogdig having got
the message loud and clear

( still ringing in his ear)
he apologised said he
didn't realize (hard to tell
he thought with that type)

and went on his way
(hoping against hope)
he'd get it right one day
but don't hold your breath

he said to himself
in the usual way he had
with his internal dialogue
an internal debate

going on for some hours
until quite late
all so one day
he'd get himself

(hopefully with a
good looking dame)
a night out
and a date.
