Sucker Punched

Neville

Sucker Punched

 

After the dream,

reality hit ..

Delivering with it

one hell

of a sucker punch

and simultaneous

knee to the groin ..

It felt like

some kind of

unanaesthetised,

outer body thing ..

A near death

experience perhaps ..

But then,

whatever it was ..

I swear, I shall never

try to touch

her there, ever again ..

          Oops, deleted your comment somehow - your reply to me - while trying to delete an empty 'comments' box of my own.
          You commented something like 'I don't want to 'go there'.
          Who can bear it! lol.

        • orchidee

          Woof! Now you've been and done it, say Fido to me.
          I wasn't offended. How dare I delete your comments except unwittingly. lol. Sincere apologies, grovel, grovel, and all that guff!

          • Neville


            Believe me it takes a lot more than a few deletives to offend yours truly .. but I have found out where your hutch is and have set gin traps all along the path to your water bowl ..

            • orchidee

            • Thomas W Case

              Lol. Hysterical. I'm dealing with writer's groups, far far away and they have that kind of reaction and I didn't even touch them there. Lol

                Yep I got one of them, possibly slightly (but not much) lighter. A lesson learnt very early. The current permission/consent movement is still trying to catch up!

                  One must be very careful where one places their hands Neville.

                    One must be careful where one places anything these days .. except for their pens ..
