Chat Up Lies

Neville

Chat Up Lies

 

I don’t wish to stare

   but don’t want to blink either ..

 

Through some irrational fear

of losing a single moment of you ..

 

And while I don’t wish

   to teach my granny to suck eggs ..

 

These words, as an icebreaker,

    at singles events, bus stops or parties etc ..

 

Tend to work far better

   than anything else, I have tried to date ..

        I gave up so I wouldn't go blind.

        • Neville


          I think that was something else entirely .. and it was an old wives tale anyway so don't worry, you can start again but not in public .. cheers, Neville

          I always wear a face mask blindfold thingy at bedtimes. To rest my eyes - and so I don't see KP! I would never recover, as she always sleeps nude! lol.

                  Going blind if only that would eradicate mental imprints.... as for chatting up ... *shivers*

                  • Neville



                    I did exactly what it said on the tin .. and changed the title .. but I get your point .. shivers .. N

                    Can't argue with this empirical evidence. The true test would be if others tried your method and got the same results, then there might be a "Nevlaw" there. I also had to google "teach granny to suck eggs", hadn't heard that one before. Such a delight-filled write my friend, and always a pleasure.

                    • Neville



                      I am so glad you got back home safely Bella, you wouldn't believe how much you were missed ..

                      Some "chat up" lines seem phony. Yours at least has some truth to it. I truly believe it's more a matter of chemistry, than anything else.
                      Your poem speaks of some failures as well as connections. It reminds one how cumbersome such cold intros can be. A great reflection on one of life's difficult experiences. - Phil A.

                        Bet ya boots sweetheart ........ Cheers Phil 🙂

                        May those moments be forever with you Neville.

                          Cheers Andy .. you will have to send me your bill sir ... oops sorry, don't do that or you'll not be able to kiss her indoors .. or outdoors for that matter .. and how would you eat your dinner .. you would always have to succeed ... Neville
