Hometown Boys

I never knew the simple joys
of going out with hometown boys.
For me, romance was never focal
on a male who was a local.
The smart ones just aimed to debate me
but seemed to have no yen to date me;
while the ones who asked were way too slow.
Why this was, I do not know.

I may have been too brash and vocal
for any hometown country yokel,
so when I finally tied one down,
he was a boy from out of town.
Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed,
romance was something I had missed;
but we made up for lost time
with remedial work that was sublime.

So it is, I am confessing,
that mobility’s a blessing.
If what you need’s not where you are,
then I suggest you use a car.
If you cannot shop at home,
it may be necessary to roam.
Free trade’s not just for clothes and toys.
It also works for teenage boys.

 

 

The prompt today is local.

    This made me smile, Judy – and the top photo brought back memories of my own teen days – warm, and just a bit embarrassing but, at the time, I thought I was the bees knees, to use an ancient expression. 🙂

      That is the only photo I have of Nick and me, even though we went steady for two years. Different times, huh? Today we would have been taking selfies every time we saw each other!
