POEM STARTER

Anticipation Participation
Thomas couldn’t wait for their big date
He stood on the sidewalk nervous
By the end he hoped they would gyrate
Instead of the usual lip service
Fantasies aplenty filled his head
Desirous of being a couple
Wanting to serve her breakfast in bed
Spoon her delicates and everything supple
She readied herself inside the house
Bathed fresh with a perfume spritz
Worried her date might be a louse
Her selection of men was the pits
Donned a garter belt with not much more
Stood smiling in front of a mirror
Willing to give access to her back door
She longed for him to be nearer
He stood and he watched from afar
A voyeur without many qualms
She smiled at him, heart and window ajar
Preparing to date a Peeping Tom
