I was following the rules as I understood them
– but I didn’t understand the rules well
at all.

It was my first time at a strip club
and Lach got me a lapdance
from this gorgeous blonde.
As she grinded atop me,
I thought the proper thing to do
was to show appreciation,
so I put my hands on her hips
and said “Oooh yeah!”

She very gently removed my hands
and softly said “No touching,”
and continued her act.
Her response seemed sensual,
and I wasn’t put off.

I just didn’t know what I was doing.

With the dance done,
my companions got ready to leave.
“Don’t get up,” Lach said, and was out the door.
I stayed around, to write about the experience.

I chatted with one of the waitresses,
who was also in a band,
but the authorities didn’t like me taking notes,
and eventually asked me to leave.

I just didn’t know the rules.
