Infection Or Infatuation
Last night, from across a crowded room
She infected me with her smile
And this morning, I discovered
It hurt like hell when I peed
In this age of AIDS and SARS
One can't be too careful
Condoms, face masks and more
But how do you protect yourself from a smile?
From across that room, our eyes met
Her smile bridged the distance between us
An intimate moment, between two strangers
An imagined one night stand
Now one night stands have their dangers
Your conquest might be a psycho who won't let go
Not to mention pregnancy or STD'S
Hope I don't have one of those
But how could I? It was only a smile
Granted unlike any smile I had ever seen before
Still, it was only a smile and nothing more
Then why do I have this pain
Call the Urologist, make an appointment
See him the next day, tests taken
Questions asked, unprotected sex?
I told him about her smile and he laughed
Two days later, test results back
No sexually transmitted disease, thank God
Just your run of the mill kidney stone
All of the pain, without any of the pleasure
