On Speaking

by Joe Cramer

And I get so very nervous,

This is what I am trying to say,

When all the words just get in the way.

I wasn't being devious,

Maybe a little mischevious.

I just get nervous.

Usually a hug or a kiss

Does the trick.

I'm so quick

To allay my fears, trepidation,

Just watch out for intimidation.

Author's Note: I detest "first" dates, and seem to forever have a plethora of them.....

Yes, the anxiety does that as we are invariably in the next.

It's funny how fear works, fear without any immediate danger has a meaningless crippling effect...a first date is as good as any example of this projected state. Nicely said.
