tell a courtship story, how you met, etc.

(on today’s slip of paper drawn from the jar)

That September night
was like any other
or was it…
It was my senior year in high school,
after the first football game of the season
riding back from the away game
with fellow cheerleaders.
The excitement of the game
still running pretty high
when we came upon that car
with Atlanta plates
and two guys.
What harm would it be
just to wave?
They waved back
Giggles all around
Next thing you know
they stopped next to us
at the school
and came over
and introduced themselves
and offered to meet us in town
and buy us a coke
They definitely weren’t
from around here
No country boys
would have such manners
And so it began
that fateful night
so long ago
the night we met
September 4, 1971.
