romantic poem of the week for August 10 1995

"I entered a sock-poem writing contest
I wrote about the long past evening
along the Maui shore when I first took them
off in front of you
to feel the sand between my toes.
But I didn't win you
or any other contest
Now whenever I see socks
I set them on fire
I have a luau
a barbie
I have a sacrifice
tomorrow I enter
a underwear writing contest"
Terrell - '80 Maui
