THINK OF KISSING

A BOY'S FIRST KISS FROM A GIRL IN 1950S

The first kiss
I remember
from a female

was some girl
on a bus trip
to the seaside

back in
the 1950s
when I

was about
9 years old
and I happen

to be sitting
next to her.
I don't know why

she kissed me
but it was nice
in a way boys

of nine
think
of kissing.
