SURPRISE PARTY<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

It was sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas eve
\nwhen of my sanity I took temporary leave.
\nA holiday party where I wanted to believe
\nI’d be introduced to the method used to conceive.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

“It all starts with one kiss,” I’d heard it said.
\n“All you have to do is get out the lead
\nand take the lead while shedding all dread.
\nIt’s not that far from mistletoe to bed.”<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I’d received the invite slid under my door.
\nWhat it said excited my virginal core:
\n“Miss L. Toe will have refreshments galore”
\nJust the right spot to begin keeping score.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

But there at the party I found so much more:
\nfriendship and laughter, reverse of a bore.
\nI ended up staying till quarter past four,
\nmoving and grooving upon the dance floor. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Miss Toe brought a wishbone. We broke it, I won.
\nSo under the mistletoe I was granted some fun.
\nBut one kiss did nothing, so we were both done.
\nI took home my bone piece until bedtime for one.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
