when we went out

not big fans of the game
but when we went out
only yesterday
to find a lamp
under which to examine
the blue star sapphire
i had just given you
i peered at your face
as you peered at the gem
ever so intently...
six points! you cried
your eyes ashine

six points! Wow! I would ask if you scored the extra point, but then I know a true gentleman never tells. Very nice poem, and a nice play on words. You have a lucky lady, to be sure. Always, Cat
