Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Nutcracker Blues

For Christmas my girlfriend did get

Tickets for Nutcracker ballet.

When I said no, she got upset,

So chose to let her have her way.

We got there a few minutes late.

The show had already begun.

Had to admit the seats were great,

As usher helped seating was done.

Not being a ballet fan, I

Looked 'round the theatre instead.

Right in front of me I did spy

A familiar back of a head.

I got real nervous suddenly.

My wife sat right in front of me.
