A Barkley Valentine

by Leona (Heathisforme)

 

 

Valentine’s Day came with a song

The Barkley men had dates

Their hearts sang with thoughts of love

As they dressed with care for the night long.

 

Heath dressed with his usual care

In his vest, tan pants and a blue shirt

He splashed on aftershave

And styled his dirt blond hair.

 

Nick dressed with flair

As he put on his leather duds

He looked in the mirror

And he ran his hand through his hair.

 

Jarrod smiled at himself

As he dressed in his light blue suit

He brushed his dark hair

And placed the brush on the shelf.

 

They descended the stairs at the same time

Each looking at the other

They smiled appreciatively

As the clock did chime.

 

They went to the dance

With their dates on their arms

They danced the night away

As the ladies  left them in a trance

 

The night was done

The couples went home

Kissing their dates good night

Then they were gone.

 

The Barkley men fell in their beds

Smiles upon their handsome faces

Visions of the future and their dates

Danced merrily in their heads.
