Choo Choo
I am 19 living with
A divorcee and her
Sons 5 and 2 to whom I
Am acting as a father.
She is 24 and to me
And other freshmen
In our community
College she is a
Sophisticated
Woman who
Is working
On her
Radio
Engineering
Degree as she
Does commercials
On radio and TV but
Works as a DJ program
Director at KITY a local San
Antonio TX FM radio station
With her own late-night weekend
Show she calls The Late Midnight
Hour for Lovers and for Insomniacs.
We are at a green room party one
Evening when she suggests we
Play Choo Choo and picks me
To go into an adjacent room,
Shut the door, then we both
Shout, “Choo Choo!” and
I go back to ask a coed to enter then choo
Choo and the coed selects
Someone to join us in the
Room while the others
Wonder what is going
On until their turn to
Enter and watch as
We all stand in a
Line and she
Kisses me,
Then I
Kiss
The coed
Who kisses
The guy behind
Her, until it gets to
The guy or gal who
Has just entered the
Room who expects to be
Kissed, but is instead slapped
As we all observe how they
React to the surprise then
Goes out to select the
Next game victim in
Choo Choo which
Seems odd to
Me, and I ask
Her if she
Could
Give up
Smoking
And drinking
Which she does
And we never play
Choo Choo again
But are a closer
Couple as we
Learn how to
Compromise
To stay as
A couple
In love
