first date

 

For my first date, I borrowed money. (Lived on #grain and veg for the rest of the year.)


Took her to a five-star hotel. 


"Isn't this the place where a human was made tandoor?" she said.


Went to a nearby bar. Reception was cold, like Hell when God trespasses to preach.

Trouble began with a bawdy song on TV. (Or, with our cocktail, the #Grain-y Past.)


Drunks danced drooling at the damsel. 


She joined them. "That's my size," she pointed at the guy on TV. To raised eyebrows, "Oh yes, it matters."


More left feet joined the dance floor.


---


(Common perceptions about such establishments can't boast a #grain of truth.) 


Drinks and food were on the house.


Like any reputable place with a rep to protect, they did not ask us to return.


Two constables there left us at her place. Her father could not complain.
