. I was in a meeting, the boardroom was full testosterone flowed everywhere Dressed in a polo, but high dollar suits were what the execs chose to wear I sat at the end, with a chair next to me, where no one decided to sit Feeling quite weird, I was new to this place and wondered if I’d be a fit Them in their ties and me underdressed, my khakis were old, kind of thin Button down shirts and cuff links of gold I guess there’s no chance I’ll fit in A half hour gone, bored out of my mind, when I couldn’t believe what I saw A beautiful woman, a pant suit of silk, came in from out there in the hall Her hair chocolate brown with eyes just the same, she rushed as she looked for a seat Then sat in the chair, I was happy to share, now this was a wonderful treat She said, **** I’m late, I forgot to stop and look at my schedule last night” I said, “That’s okay, they’ve not much to say I’m sure that it will be alright” We sat there a while, I stared at her smile, just hoping she wouldn’t catch me When then she stood up, it was her time to talk my god, she was smart, I could see A room full of men, one amazing woman and she put them all in their place Yes, she knew her stuff and I was impressed but the board, oh the look on their face They grumbled and groaned and snorted a bit, but knew today something they learned I laughed deep inside, when one then stood up and said to us “meeting adjourned” I said, “You were great, even though you were late, and you look so good in that suit” She said, “Thanks so much, I’m glad you approve and by the way I think you’re cute” I got up the nerve and asked her if she’d like to join me for coffee or tea She said, “That sounds nice, but I’d much prefer a drink, sounds much better to me” I said , “It’s a date and please don’t be late” She giggled and flashed me a grin It’s then that I knew, no worries at all, this place I would surely fit in

Fitting in (Better late than never)
