three beautiful teenage girls called on on the phone on
what could have been a fortuitous day
he was delightfully surprised by the unexpected telephone attention
and he’d always been a sucker for aggressive woman he was attracted to
because it took him by surprised and amazed him
when they flirted with him or made the first moves
on the phone that day, one of them, a beautiful red hair girl, said he had danced with her
kidding around he said you were lucky
perfectly one upping his wiseass kidding
she said no you were the lucky one
he and the girls laughed at her witty repartee
looking back he wishes he had been smarter then
and said actually you are right
and I regret I didn’t talk to you when we danced
you looked so beautiful I became too blown away
by your beauty to speak to you and I honestly
did feel lucky to have danced with you
now as an old man he wishes he could rewind his life
to back then and say the things he should have
and he wonders what would have happened and
if she would have been the one he would have
spent the rest of his life with
and oh how beautiful she looked in all her
red-haired green-eyed glory when he
was so lucky to have danced with her
