The silly grin on your face.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The silly grin on your face.

Me and my girlfriend are in a boat on Echo Lake, and she wears a silly grin on her face. I have a fishing pole in one hand and a can of beer in the other. To my surprise, I get a rise. So we head to the shore one more time. We get back in the boat and go for a ride with the beer in my hand. That's no big surprise. I look and see that her silly grin is back. So there is no turning back. To the shore, we go. Then we're back in the boat, just one more time. I give up; I'm out of time.

About this poem
