My Date

I was just on a date.
Boy, it sure was great.
I should have gone long ago.
I'm just not very bold.

I took her to see
my parents that be.
Until they were told,
they didn't know.

Our dates and us guys,
gave my parents a surprise.
Dad sat there rapt;
Mom just laughed.

Then we went to go bowl,
but that the lanes were full I didn't know.
Away to the duck ponds,
it didn't take very long.

We fed the ducks,
it only took a few bucks.
Then there were fish;
So big they could have been a dish.

Then to watch part of a baseball game.
To me, it seemed pretty tame.
We found a way to make the mosquitoes not bite,
and the birds ate them in the light.

On to the swings,
for a time to take wing.
Next was the slide,
form a train, then down glide.

Back to the car,
on the way watch the stars.
We didn't really tarry,
away we went to Jerry's.

A meal we did enjoy,
the girls and us boys.
We showed the food who was boss;
ate our greens with the sauce.

Of fun there was no lack,
but we had to take the girls back.
Something at me did tug,
so I gave my date a hug.

I enjoyed my date.
Hope you all can relate.
I know not what else to say.
I'll date another day.
