When I Fell in Love

I was carrying a pile of books that day,
Couldn’t see those steps in my way.
I fell. Books and all;
At the feet of a gorgeous stranger standing tall.

Mumbling my apologies I picked up my books
My poor frazzled nerves on tenterhooks.
Feeling foolish I dumped my load in the library
Rushed to my Chemistry class in the laboratory.

Concentrating on my experiment I failed to see,
That gorgeous stranger-standing-tall approaching me
I looked up & the world stood still.
Beckoned & I moved without a will.

Noticed an Identity card
Tried unsuccessfully to read.
On closer inspection read “PRINCIPAL”
And sank ten feet deep!!!
