I met a girl by the name of Joud,
A radiant girl from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
With medium height 5’5 inches
An impeccable young lass aged 21
Of ravishing beauty,
Let alone her exquisite character,
I still recall how fidgety I became
The thought of making a move
At first, blush was a nightmare
To ask for her name was like a rat belling a cat
Her blue eyes stared at me nervously, intently
I remember feigning nonchalance
And like a gallant Nazi soldier
I walked towards her
She had a glittering necklace
That rounded her long neck
And finally dropping towards her cleavage
She wore a long blue silky dress
That matched the color of her eyes
Fitting her lean body provocatively
I remember making my way to the bar stool
Where she sat solemnly
Listening to the karaoke
When the drinks finally hit us
Joud was all but free with me
I remember how she carried herself
Talking big of her dreams
How she aspired to work in auditing
That she had all it took
For one, she spoke a whole bunch of languages
Including English and Arabic
She wanted to curb all the malicious acts,
As embezzlement and tax evasion
She talked of being a Capricorn,
Goal-oriented and enthusiastic girl
Who will take none of the misconducts
I listened to her sharply, eagerly
Admiring her eloquence in English
She hoped to be an accounting manager
For better or worse
And when she finally moved closer
That I could feel her breath
Soothing my rough skin
I heard her say to me
When all this is over
And I become an auditor
Join me for a coffee date
Or an ice cream date
For heavens, how know I love them!
