We sat next to each other Saturday
at Rae’s dinner party.
I was to your left
and explained to you
the difference between Sci-Fi
and SF

infer and imply
and even made a point to show you
how to properly use couple and few
in a sentence
when you had to take
an emergency call from your office
and then I couldn’t catch your eye
for the rest of the night.

The number you gave me
seems to be missing a couple of digits
and Rae somehow couldn’t find a way to contact you.
Hours of research online didn’t help
so I’m forced to rely on this service
to make you an offer you shan’t refuse.

I know you mentioned your boyfriend,
a husband,
and a fatal disease you were dealing with
but you had a pretty smile
and a pretty good rack
and I thought I would take the chance
of letting you know
that I’m available
and not a little interested.

You should call me.
I’m willing to take you out
to any one of the places
where I’ve got coupons.

Patiently,
Left Side in Lancaster
