I am getting ready for
the hottest date ever!
He’s handsome, laughs
a lot, and really listens
I have finally lost the
tire around my middle
My dress actually fits
I shower, wash my hair, 
and put on makeup.
All I need are my favorite
shiny dangling earrings
I open my jewelry box
What a crazy surprise!
Since I put the earrings
neatly away, they have
become all tangled up!
Has the jewelry been
drinking and dancing,
or having a wild orgy?
The clock is ticking
My date is right now! 
The damn earrings 
are stuck together
I’m frantic, trying
to pull them apart
At last, I undo them,
and race to the bar. 
I sit, look, and wait
He never shows
The bartender said
a man had come, 
keeping his eye on
the clock, and left. 
What an ironic farce! 
My wild, mixed up
jewelry box has made 
me miss a great date!
