Array ( [sid] => 30691 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I Can’t Dance With You – You’re Wearing White Socks [time] => 2004-01-03 18:57:04 [hometext] => A long long time ago....heheheh this is true [bodytext] => ---------------------------------------------------
Small town boys always wear white socks
Their mothers must buy them by the dozen
God you look like a geek
We look smug and superior
In our torn bell bottoms
And navy pea coats
My scarf hangs lopsided
Stylishly so
You walk up and ask me to dance
I look a little surprised
That you would dare to even ask
I look down at your feet
Really those socks have to go
You look a little puzzled now
Yes, you must take off your socks
If you want to dance with me
You disappear through the crowd
We’re stilling laughing when you return
Minus the offending socks
You take my hand and lead me away
We dance to, Born To Be Wild
Why did you ask me to dance
You’re not one of us
And I don’t like you
The song ends
We walk away from each other
I see you outside
You’re standing in the snow without your socks
You look my way
I offer you a smile, but nothing more
Your mother will wonder
What happened to your socks
***

Mer that was so funny....I'm still laughing. Now when I was in high school....we looked down on leather jackets, you know the type...motorcycles the whole works...so the same thing happened to me one day....I was offered a ride....What do you say....Oh, No thank you I'd rather walk? If I'd have gone home with that person, my Dad would have squawked and probably beat me black and blue....but how do you tell them that?
Loved your poem Mer....real true story...I know
Great Poem, as usual
lovingly
