This was written for Richard Lamoureux's contest. The poem of his, I related to as soon as I read it, was Best Pick Up LIne. It just brought back a funny memory of a fellow when I was about 18yrs old, in my neighborhood. Hopefully, I presented it properly. I made the first verse to respond to how I felt about Richard Lamoureux's poem Best Pickup Line, "You are so beautiful, forgive me for staring. The rest is my memory.

My Name Is Roland, Do You Want To Go Bowling chosen to relate to Richard Lamoureaux's Poem Best Pickup Line Best Pick Up Line You are so beautiful forgive me for staring It might woo me if I thought he was sincerely caring However, my first thought, he has used this line before Although, flattered, I would head for the door Hi Shirley, my name is Roland, do you want to go bowling Best pickup line I ever had outside the washeteria by an Italian lad Popping a willy, his bike on one wheel I couldn't help but laugh, he is too funny I feel So who told you my name The clerk at the drugstore was to blame Well not today, I don't think so Maybe another day, I will let you know Then one day I was walking home He was sitting in his truck with silver chrome Suddenly, he jumped in front of me offering me a ride I loved his sense of humor, I have to confide Only three blocks to my home In his fancy truck with chrome He grabbed and kissed me and I could see how this was gonna go I laughed and pushed him away and said, “ I don't believe so.” So no Roland, no bowling, just my favorite pickup line A smile and laugh I can't hold back at this funny memory of mine
