alline made a strange gasp
she tried to put her shoes on
just grabbed some and took off
I went and shut the front door
she'd left standing wide open
dolly was bright eyed and bushy tailed
said wtf was all that bullshit all about
I related i'd recently begun dating alline
since I wasn't sure she'd leave Louisiana
she climbed on top before i'd to go to work
I reassured her we'd have no more problems
tucked her in .. kissed her softly on the cheek
tired, headed out the door to go to work
a few hours later .. at the service station
where I worked .. alline flew into the drive
screaming and crying .. she threw dolly's shoes
hitting me with them .. said she wants hers back
I repled okay .. i'll get them for you as soon as I can
she demanded to know why .. who's in my bed
I said it might have something to do with
steve, in houston .. on the weekends, dear
she cried all the more .. couldn't stop for anything
I reached through her window .. hugged her close
related everything will be just fine
she'd no idea i'd be moving to winnie
so like that we're friends again .. for awhile
every day she'd come by during lunch
we'd eat .. sit in her car and talk for an hour
i'd brought her shoes to her .. given dolly's back
alline swore she loves me .. told her I love her too
she purchased ted nugent tickets .. I refused to go
I wasn't about to treat dolly bad .. I already had
she'd just made the first move of her life
it was no small thing for either one of us
alline wouldn't give up .. kept coming by
offered cash, I refused .. told her i'm not for sale
reminded her there's fifty guys for every woman
then there's steve .. waiting in houston for her
said she broke up with him .. for me, for us
on and on she cried .. please get rid of dolly
thought it over .. asked aunt edna to take dolly home
