First Date

First Date

A Poem by Tony Hwilka

Here I am almost eighteen -- a virgin

and a date with the sexiest girl in school

come Friday -- Prom night -- why me?

Because she asked. I have no idea what to do.

I can't ask my mom, dad said I needed a handbook.

It has been so long he can't remember.

Now where in the world do I get a handbook?

I can't ask my friends since I taked as I knew.

 

Friday morning I was walking along Main Street.

Stopped in a bookstore. It was very small and cluttered.

I was embarrassed to ask the female clerk so I helped myself.

All I could find was Reproduction of Gorillas. I bought the book.

Went to school and read each chance I could. But to no avail.

 

I prayed to God for help, rang the bell, her father anwered the door.

Looked me over asked some questions -- said she would be right down.

She appeared on the stairs, what a sight, an angel in bright lights.

She stepped forward, missed the step and rolled all the way down.

Lying on the floor with a broken leg, we rush to the hospital.

Me! I'm a virgin for another day.
