Big disc score. I had a dance partner. You did? Mm-hmm. She was about 10 years older than I was. She had her own boyfriend.

Made it kind of nice because we would go out there and really do our thing and had our little costumes on. Had costume? Exactly. What kind of costume? Oh, I had like a tuxedo shirt with tuxedo pants and suspenders. Oh.

My partner had a nice fiscal dress. And we would do our thing and she would go sit with her boyfriend. And then this was what was so great about 79 and 80.

Come over and ask me to dance instead of having it the other way around. I surely thought you were good, probably. I made them all feel like Ginger Rogers. And they loved me for it. They loved me so well, increased my dating about maybe five to ten times a week.

Cotton Eye Joe. I didn't really like it, Chuck. I didn't like it because disco was so sweet and the way we turn and touch dancing. And this was all, hey, jerk them around, cowboy. I didn't like it.

In fact, I get sore arms from dancing with some of the cowgirls, and so I didn't like that. I bruised easily, Chuck.

Well, I'm still meeting some women at bars and places like that, and they seem to be a lot different than they did back in the early 80s and the late 70s. They're more cold and callous, and in fact, they seem like they're more ugly.

I don't know. Well, it's really hard to say. Maybe I could be getting older, too.
The Commercial Break
12 Days Of TCB: Poem Time For Lovers
I was stating before that we're younger, getting older, too, and we're all getting older. We're all getting older.

Well, I rewrite this. This poetry is my own, and I write it. And normally on a date, if I recite the poetry, I'll recite a poem about myself. Roses are red.
The Commercial Break

I'm getting older. How about you? I don't know what I'm like. It's like a self-portrait poem.

I'll recite her a poem that I wrote to one of my last loves.
The Commercial Break

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It works every time. I don't mention her name or anything like that. You don't say. To Helen. I do have one poem that I have a blank in it.

She invited me in. And I go, you know, into the house right there, and she looked very nice. The beautiful blue eyes, which she corrected me, the turquoise eyes. Very nice. And, uh... Very nice. It was... Let's put it, everything, we're in the right places. Absolutely. That's good, Josh. Boat the ice. Yeah. And I get in. So we've got to give her a chance to put the rose water.

And she had to water some of her other plants. So I kind of went on a little tour.
The Commercial Break

And we get into this one room, and she opens up the door, and I'm noticing some of the art that she does. She's a fantastic artist. Is she? Nice paintings. Just one painting, though. Nice paintings. We're talking life-size male nude.

So, uh... I recite a couple of poems, one about myself, and then that one special poem that I referred to earlier.
The Commercial Break
12 Days Of TCB: Poem Time For Lovers
I can't believe it. Okay, so what happened next? Okay, well, we leave there, and we caught something to eat, and then we went back to her place. You caught something to eat?
The Commercial Break
12 Days Of TCB: Poem Time For Lovers
Yeah. And she invited me in, and I had to get my, I had to let the jacket right there, and it happened to be in her bedroom. Wait, hold on. What happened to the rest of the date? I know.
The Commercial Break
12 Days Of TCB: Poem Time For Lovers
So, obviously, I had to go get my jacket. And I got my jacket, and we got back to the door. And so far, all we've really done is maybe hold hands because we don't want to rush these good dates.
The Commercial Break
12 Days Of TCB: Poem Time For Lovers
And so I said, well, I'll give her a little peck on the lips, you know. And a little peck on the lips got a little bit more, a little bit more. This jacket's really getting heavy on my arm.

John hasn't been to a gym ever. Falls to the floor. And just so happens there's a chair there. Because you get tired if you stand up very long. When do you get tired if you stand up very long?
The Commercial Break

On the chair and we're still kissing. And we thought, well, this has been such a nice time. Maybe it's time to cool it. No, she thought this has been a nice time. Maybe it's time to cool it. That's basically when the date ended.
