Love At First Sight
Ah! Love at first sight,
Impossible, you spurn. Listen, you'll concede I'm right.
A chance cancellation, I should not have been teaching,
But being the junior I must not sit idle.
So thrust off into the class I was, preparation non considered vital,
It was a level I'd never taught,
For her it was a circumstance she had not sought.
Left alone she was, a classroom of one,
My relief as I realised my incompetence would not have shone,
I'd bluff it and blag it and some how get by,
She was equally out of her depth in a level far too high,
Plucking up courage I marched on in,
Stopped in my tracks by the beauty sat within.
Her smile filled the room, her lips a rhythm like the sea,
I didn't know whether to scream or jump with pure glee.
Her body seemed perfect, her persona all warmth and joy,
I couldn't shake off this idea of a reincarnated Helen of Troy.
I froze, I babbled, dribbled, tripped and almost fell,
But for the first time ever I believed in God and the Devil,
I was in Heaven, so there must be a Hell.
