A Blue Toothbrush

You just gotta have a plan don'tcha.....

A Blue Toothbrush

 

He left his blue toothbrush

Next to hers in the chrome holder

Specifically designed for toothbrushes

A conditioned reflex or what…

Nah part of some grand master plan

 

He knew that blue toothbrush

would off set the symmetry

She craved and likewise

wreck her day

Unless of course he removed it

 

He also knew

She would very soon phone or text

With some garbled message

Full of typo’s demanding

He get rid without delay

 

He also knew if he submitted

or at least appeared to

they would end up f*****g again

and all before mid morning coffee

 

She knew full well

he had to be in the office by nine

but had a window in his diary

between ten thirty and eleven fifteen

 

Forty five whole minutes

give or take ten travelling on a bad day

She licked her lips and decided to phone

around ten twenty just to be on the safe side

She never did like that blue toothbrush anyway

 

 

Author's Note

if ya dont like blue, replace it with another....

This is why I have 2 teethbrushes on the go at any one time, to stop one being lonely and the other think it's being invaded.
Who knew its positioning would turn into a game of mental chess that even Deep BLUE wouldn't have a hope of winning.
An alternative title for those who prefer green over blue (football)... Men are from Mats, women are weird. 😀
Ps... Thanks for not mentioning the pink hello kitty toothbrush in the medicine cabinet. It's my neighbours and I'm not equipped for that discussion AND have to work with her 😀

[Lorry]

Ps... Apologies for missing this one first time round.

Two years since I read this one last. Must have been soon after I joined WC. Must also have been one of the very first of your poems I came across by the remarks I made. Good you gave it an airing.

He knows what presses her buttons. He knows her very well. That tooth brush left there for a purpose. They both needed an excuse. She was pleased that toothbrush was left, it gave her an opportunity. They both wanted that opportunity at 10.30, so desperate the need. Wow, anything to quench their appetite. Good read Neville and good morning.

[Neville]

Good Morning & thank you for the stopover Christine, your consideration of these words is much appreciated..... Neville

[Chris Shaw]

Your poetry is very versatile. You never know what's coming next. You keep me on my toes.

Oh no Neville. Perfectly ok. I need the exercise. (both body and brain)
