I Saw the Old Man Looking Down

I saw the old man looking down

sly like the old fox

I knew him to be.

A twenty-something blouse

ripening raisins in the sun

flicked him a peek

she'd seen him too.

I smiled, nodded

amused before

she snapped

me back

"What the f**k

you looking at Pervert!"

Tread carefully. Innocence is a bad thing. Oh and watch out for manners.

Attitudes and perceptions. These days a man has to be careful what he says and what he does. Even holding a door open for a woman can be viewed as patronising by some. I just call it good manners.

same here Robert. this is just a whimsical slice on the every day going ons around my part of the world. old codgers, young tarts, and slightly less old codgers observing the coffee shop banters

It can be an education in itself, sitting in a coffee shop, or at an outside table, and doing a little bit of "people watching." I sometimes do that myself!

Ha! That's young women for you nowadays. Back in the day, I would have blushed and quickly moved on. These days you'll get a mouthful of foul from some of them. Yep, pervert, that's what you risk getting called, dare your eyes slip lol.
