Excitement fills the air

As I prepare for us to meet

My getting ready ritual planned

Every detail timed and complete

                   ~

First I run my bath

Adding the sweetest smelling foam

Then I pour a glass of wine

And my thoughts begin to roam

                   ~

Next a love CD

To play and sing to as I lay and bathe

And attend to the shaving necessary

So embarrassment later I will save

                   ~

Next I wash my hair

Adding extra oils to make it shine

Once this is complete, I check my watch

To find my beauty session is running on time

                   ~

Finally all pampered and clean

I emerge from the bathroom and start

To apply my make up very carefully

As I really must look the part

                   ~

Next another glass of wine

So I’m nicely in the mood

Next my matching naughty underwear

I hope it’s not too rude

                   ~

Once more I check my watch for time

Smile and take a seat

As I start to file and paint my fingernails

I decide it’s best I also paint my feet.

                   ~

Whilst my nail polish is drying

I pour myself another glass of wine

This time also lighting a cigarette

And then another check on the time

                   ~

Finally I put on my new outfit

A simple dress to hug my shape

Impressed with my mirror reflection

Deciding I look perfect for my date

                   ~

Finally I add the shoes and bag

And begin to realize I feel a little queer

Too much wine whilst getting ready

Then the doorbell rings and he’s here
