Five Seconds Into An Encounter

 

You have such

a sad and tired, old face sir ..

She said,

as she tried desperately

but failed

miserably, to catch

the strawberry ice cream

with her tongue

before it hit the kerb and

an almost silent

but not surprisingly sweet

sticky splat ..

Is that so, he replied slow

with his most

sincerest of well-practiced

false smiles ..

Although it was completely

wasted on

the seemingly precocious

five year old ..

They don’t hold back do they? They say it as it is. Add a bit of precocious with it and although seemingly funny, it can hit where it irritates. I can remember having a cold sore on my lip once. and a little person making sure I didn’t forget it, or it’s size and how painful it was! So the strawberry ice-cream hit the kerb! Sort of just desserts I can hear Neville saying :))

[Chris Shaw]

Of course we wouldn’t change them. Now you have lost me on the JR thingy. Identical twees

Are you referring to my faceless avatar? Good morning Neville.

[Neville]

you just need to look up to the very kind soul who checked in immediately before you .. even your limbs look pretty much the same .. YES :)

Well, I was trying to change my avatar and it wouldn’t upload. Then I discovered that my iohone photos weren’t compatible with websites. I have adjusted the settings on my phone but haven’t taken any new photos yet. Can’t use any of the ones with old settings. Blimey anyone would think you are missing my face? :))

"I am old, I am old. I shall wear my trousers rolled..." Well everyone is old to a baby...I'm surprised by how fast the babies grow up. You can't blink and ten years has gone by. Great imagery, well presented. I enjoyed the read!
