Truth or Dare?
A stupid game
Cropping up at slumber parties.
Giggling girls,
waiting like piranhas for a victim to fail.
“French-kiss Bobby!”
Waste my first kiss on someone two grades younger
with a voice higher pitched than mine?
Bobby squirms with anticipation.
There seems no way out,
until Bobbie ambles up...
My dog!

Margaret...This is exactly the kind of story that I love.
A story! This is perfection in my book.

Thanks for playing today, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
sorry for the sadness.
Lisa - Yes, the young man is a family friend and I hated using him as such - but he was the right age AND he does look like he is waiting for a kiss, doesn't he?
Brian - Thank you for posting his poem!
G-Man - Wow! I am honored :)
Eric - You wouldn't kiss your dog?
Cad - Haven't you ever been licked by a dog? Can't be that bad...
Monkey Man- Thanks! An ending sealed with a kiss
