The Girl's Night In

 

Rose is having a girl's night in with friends.

She has invited four of her friends close

And they are all enjoying a gossip

In their jim-jams, as they about guys talk.

With her is June, Heather, Mary and Grace.

They giggle, squeal, laugh and are quite happy.

 

Suddenly, the door-bell rings.  The happy

Girls wonder who's at the door.  All her friends

Are in Rose's room.  With that, she lets Grace

Pop down to open the door.  Her mates close

Behind.  But June stays in the room to talk

To Rose:  'Wait up, we got a new gossip!'

 

Calls Heather.  The girls wonder what gossip...

They gather into Rose's room happy

But behind them enters Roy, and the talk

Abruptly halts.  Oh my!  Which of her friends

Let him in?!  He's more attractive up close,

Rose thinks.  In a moment's reflection, Grace

 

Suggests that the girls leave the room in grace

So Roy and Rose could catch up on gossip

Alone...  Roy approaches Rose and gets close,

He gently whispers, 'I would be happy

To read you a love poem, Rose....  as friends.'

Rose is mystified and intends to talk

 

Further on this poem and make small talk.

He reads the poem and reads with much grace.

It becomes clears he is more than just friends.

No doubt to Rose that the girls will gossip

For Roy has just made Rose very happy...

She closes her eyes, so he'd kiss her close.

 

As Roy kisses Rose soft, besides him close,

The girls about them behind their backs talk.

It's clear to them that Roy's made Rose happy.

They would like to find a guy with his grace,

A guy with whom they could also gossip,

Someone like Roy who'd make them swoon with friends.

 

Meanwhile, while Roy and Rose kiss up close, friends

Aren't on her mind.  Let them talk and gossip...

Happy with Roy in the room's quiet grace.
