I took my friend

out for the night

She said, "where?

are we going????"

I sighed...

it's a surprise,

and covered her eyes

as we got in the car

at dusk it looked

like a limo alright

all sleek

long and dark

with tinted windows

and sheared curtains

drawn

as four wheels gave

a squeal of delight,

soon we arrived!

She leaned heavily

on my left shoulder

tipsy and wobbly kneed

We could hear closer

the sharpening of knives

First thought was

"a Hibachi!

Righttt?!"

there was even some

music to sashay to

for old fogies like us

Her eyes popped open

at the touch of the sheets

Nuh uh! closing them tight

"a hotel!!? really kinda

quick dontchya think?"

The fella handed me

a tag for the bag

and I gave a brisk

doubtful wave

and a parting kiss

to her supine face

"are we taking

a trip?"

I tried to keep it light

and then not to cry...

"oh the honeymoon

is over?"

not quite...

click click of metal on metal

on the cold doorknob, no!

"I'll see you maybe.. later?"

on the other side...
