218 After a date indecision

Posted on February 9, 2016 by Ken Greenman

So, when the lady said,
after a pleasant first date,
“Do you want to
come
inside
for a little
while?”
I thought,
“What does she mean?”
And since I could not quite
uncover it,
or get the lay of the land
or catch her thrust,
or plum her depth,
I was aroused, finally,
to reply, stupidly,
“No thanks, not tonight.”
and left,
leaving her to her coffee,
or tea,
but, unfortunately, in retrospect,
not me.
