Roller Girl

She skated nimbly all ‘round the floor,

  With just one look, I felt my heart soar.

Wheeling about on skates with pink laces,

  Makin’ that rink the best of all places.

Dancing and twirling, tossing her curls,

  The prettiest one of the roller-rink girls.

Looking so sweet in that flashy skirt,

  Smiling like she is ready to flirt.

I don’t know why, but I caught her eye,

  It’s a couples skate, so I gave it a try.

I lead her out to the hardwood floor,

  Never knowing what was in store.

The lights went low, and we started off slow,

   My heart was aglow, but what did I know?

I looked in her misty, soft brown eyes,

  And thought I’d won the Roller Ball Prize.

The music played as we swooped and swayed,

  My cards were all played, my heart was waylaid.

The music stopped, and she drifted away,

  And I left my heart at the rink that day.
