I have a story to tell, though I may have told you before,

about a night on the town, an incident with a door.

Not just any old door, the kind that circle and spin,

that keep outdoor air out, and the indoor air, in.

I am soft like jello, a little puffed in the middle,

when I get nervous or silly, I kind of jiggle a little.

And this door really got me, on round two or three,

I’m embarrassed to admit, it got the better of me.

They had to call the police, to get me out of that pickle,

recalling it now, still offers the best belly giggles.

So now when I dine out, I still go to that place, like before,

I only skip the carousel and opt for the single side door.
