MY DATE

Mama taught me to be courteous, bless her heart

She taught me to say thank you and sorry when I offend

She also taught me to say little and mean much

But I am sorry I took her advice to mind my own business when walking on the streets

I would have met him sooner

He always passed me by

Trying to get my attention

I didn’t give him my time of day

That is why he bumped into me

Quite intentionally

I had to be really rude not to acknowledge him then

To say sorry, I had to look him in the eye

To look him in the eye, I had to get past that smile

To get past that smile, I had to curb my captivation

He ran smack into me

And I have learnt my lesson

From now on, I doubt I would miss much of his calls

One of my best dates is with a guy called OPPORTUNITY
