THE SPORTING LIFE
while making a turn from fountain to la brea i noticed her
while making a turn from fountain to la brea i noticed her
at the bus stand . a brief smile appeared on her face . after
glancing at the rear view mirror and roadway ahead i quickly
made a u - turn . i rolled down the passenger
window and said
" well hello school girl . going my way ? " . she leaned forward
and innocently replied " can you take me sunset and wilton ? "
momentarily stunned by my good luck i smilingly said
" absolutely and positively too ! " . she opened the car door
sat down and put on her seat belt with one
graceful motion
naturally brown hair cascaded onto her thin shoulders
a black and white striped mini dress exposed long lovely legs
we exchanged names and engaged in the usual chit and chat
fifteen minutes passed by the time i parked in front of a large
apartment complex . before i could ask she invited me up for
drinks . following behind her as we climbed stairs to a flat on
the third floor i salivated as the short striped dress clung to her
the flat was a bachelorette . the decor was carefree hippy chick
she gestured towards a purple crushed velvet sofa then went to
the kitchen . in front of the sofa was a glass top coffee table
on it was a bamboo bong a lighter and two gossip magazines
she returned from the kitchen with a large bottle of strawberry
wine and small glasses with ice . after she sat i proposed a toast
to our jolly good and incredibly terrific luck in finding each other
i suggested we play a drinking game . we down a glass and sing
a song or tv jingle until . until what she asked . i simply smiled
with a laugh she emptied her glass and giggled through a beatles
song . something about not having a car but finding a driver
and that is a good thing . beep beep . beep beep . yeah
i looked longingly at her legs as we emptied the first bottle
then a second . however midway through the third disaster struck
before i could finish the theme song of the mister ed television show
" a horse is a horse of course of course and no one talks to a horse "
she keeled over and started to snore . loudly
i looked at her legs and sighed . but the evening was
not going to be a complete loss . she had cable and
espn sportscenter was coming on in five minutes
