One Night Stand

I was twenty one

It was my birthday

I was looking for fun

 

I saw you

You were the one

I thought that you

Looked like fun

 

Kylie was playing

I should be so lucky

You sidled up

Said, ‘Hello Ducky’

 

I was feeling

Rather plucky

So I replied

With a flutter

From my eyes

And a flash

Of my slender

Thighs

 

Did it take you

By surprise?

We snuck out

From the crowds

We weren’t noticed

We weren’t proud

 

Our one night stand

Was magical

But I had to leave

My friends were waiting

You asked me

If I was up for dating

 

I threw my number

In the air

You caught it

Did I sense your

Desperation

In the air?

 

I’m sorry

If you thought

I was looking

For something more

Than a one night stand

But I’ve always been

A one man band

 

You were cute

It was a hoot

Thank you

For my birthday pressie

But I’m leaving now

Before things get messy!
