The bell rung,
I answered the door,
There stood a man
With his proof of identity
Which he insisted I read.
So read it I did,
Yes, he was who I was expecting,
But there was no real doubt
As a thief would not come in,
With an eight-foot-long rail,
That he was going to fix
Up the stairs.

This gave me a smile - great fun.
Thank you Michael, a smile a day keeps the blues away.
Oh lol, good write Gold. Yet we can get some nasty looks and sharp words from people: 'Who are you?'; 'I don't know who you are', said to us in an unfriendly way.
Thank you Orchi, people can be strange some times.
You never know who could be at your door. A finely written piece of real life. ; )
Thank you AP, most kind.
Ohhhhhhhh never be too sure ANDY an 6 ft pole would make a good weapon if he wanted to get his hands on your stash of gold sovereigns. I guess you saved them from the days when they were legal tender ! Please check "SAY IT WITH FLOWERS" Yours BRIAN
It would need a longer pole to reach my stash of sovereigns.
A lady phones me up and makes an arrangement for me to call at a specific time to service her boiler. I turn up with both hands full of equipment i need at exactly the right time, when she answers the door i introduce myself 'hello im dusky here to service your boiler as agreed' .......'have you got any I.D.?' she asks.
I swear one of these days i'm going to say NO and walk away.
Nice writing sir... touched a spot as u can see.
sorry if it touched a nerve DA but people can be a pain in the you know where sometimes.
No not at all my friend, a few irksome moments on the doorstep are easily overcome when their chequebook comes out.
Another fun write Gold. I can see you are good on writing for fun. Thanks for everyday life fun moments.
Thank you Mal, if we cannot have a bit of fun life is meaningless.
I find it odd that he made you check his ID badge but who knows? Never know when you'll need and 8 ft long rail. Good write!
It sure was odd, but saying that he was a very friendly guy and did the job well.
I guess there is no shortage of fun subjects to write about. Very funny and well written, orchidee!
ORCHIDEE? ORCHIDEE!!
I will say thanks on behalf of Goldie who wrote these words.
Goldfinch, I am SO SORRY! At my age I tend to loose it sometimes. Can't distinguish flowers from birds! You are both beautiful!
