SURPRISES AT MIDNIGHT

Surprises at Midnight

Get dressed, you said, in the sexiest thing you own

Throw on a coat and follow these words, alone

I've laid down a pretty paper roses trail

And where it leads you to, your eyes will tell

So I, in wonder, did just as he asked

For I was titillated by the task.

I hurried down the stairs and to the street

And the night was full of mystery and heat

I saw the pieces of paper shining there

Down the street, the pier and to the Square

I followed them until I came to rest

In an alley way, my heart pounding in my chest.

I looked around to see what I could see

And all I saw was a curiosity 

A cardboard cut-out of a handsome man

Standing there with roses in his hand.

I sighed and turned to go from that dark place

And then he peeked around the cardboard face

"Hello, my love!" he grinned, "What a surprise!"

And I hit him with a pie between the eyes.
