A DULL LIFE

A DULL LIFE

Peering through drawn blinds

Offers a narrower perspective

Than any wider, clearer view

When one may see what’s true

But no need to be a detective

It is surprising what one finds

 

With just a twitch of a curtain

A glimpse of something seen

An itch that will be scratched

With little discretion attached

Yet if less than has ever been

One still cannot be so certain

 

A glance just around a corner

Then darting back just in time

It looks like an awkward scene

She acts like a vulnerable teen

It could develop into a crime

One should certainly warn her

 

Peeping over the garden wall

It is just interest, not to spy

Husband’s away all this week

An excuse for one quick peek

If she’s close to this other guy

Surely, no harm in that at all

  • Cheeky Missy

    Oh my word--! Ha. Now you dredge up the tales my late mother used to reminisce of over and over, their childhood neighbor lady a Mrs Smurz too inordinately fond of peeking between her curtains. Ooh the juicy stories, "Mabel, did you ever hear --?!" "Oh my--! Never!"
