He'd been thinking about a good line <br />as the evening began to decline. <br />But she smiled with a nod <br />and it doesn't seem odd <br />that today they are tasting good wine. <br /> <br />On the weekend there was a convention <br />it was fine and deserves a good mention. <br />He was eager to dine <br />and they did, drank some wine <br />then he asked for their date an extension. <br /> <br />When the moon went to bed it was late <br />they were standing, too close, near the gate. <br />Though he was pretty shy <br />with his polka dot tie <br />when they parted he whispered, 'please wait.' <br /> <br />For Barbara H. - California Beaujolais<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/observed/
