I picked my mate
just short of the pearly gates.
In the nursing home so grim,
who'd have thought
I'd find HIM!
Our walkers clashed
with a crash
as we sprinted through the gloom.
We arched speculative eyebrows:
did we want to Get a Room?
It was tricky;
life can be - in a word - rather sticky.
Temporarily off our rockers,
hastily we parked our walkers.
Hobbling our eager asses,
we put our teeth in glasses.
(Is this endearing or revolting?)
Easy, fellow! (he was bolting).
All the buttons, oh, the zipper!
We began to hasten quicker
before the thought diminished.
Oh, are we already finished?
Luckily the lights were dim
and our intentions focused, grim.
We emerged smiling from the fray
and he skittered fast away.
As he looked like all the others
out from underneath the covers,
when it came from push to shove,
(I never had a velvet glove),
sadly, I misplaced My Perfect Love
- oh wretch! oh pounding Gloom! -
somewhere in the common dining room.
LOL. Magaly made me do it. Her hilarious prompt at Real Toads is to take one of the outlandish titles offered and write a poem or story about it in 313 words or less. So my mind Went There prompted by the title "Dating for Under a Dollar: 301 Ideas" by Blair Tolman.
BAHAHAHAHA❤️My god this is good especially "Our walkers clashed with a crash as we sprinted through the gloom.
ReplyDeleteWe arched speculative eyebrows: did we want to Get a Room?" Beautifully executed!❤️
And I an sooo happy I made you do it, Sherry. In fact, I am in tears. I can't wait to read it to my Piano Man, when he gets home.I cried so hard, while I laughed, that my glasses got all foggy. LOL!
ReplyDeletegiggles and smiles
ReplyDeleteluv this Sherry
much love...
Ha.. this was so funny... the details about the teeth added so much to the steamy romance.
ReplyDeleteI liked being off our rockers and parking our walkers.
ReplyDelete"We arched speculative eyebrows:
ReplyDeletedid we want to Get a Room?"
Hah! Am I surprised? Just enough to have lots of fun reading this!
Sherry, the cats are looking at me, strangely, as they haven't hear me, laughing so hard, in a long time. Thank you, for this precious gift, of humour.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny.
ReplyDeleteI love the humor coming out of this prompt. This was hysterical.
ReplyDeleteall i could think was...omg...she went out again today! hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteOh you've made me chuckle this Sunday morning, Sherry, especially at:

and
'Temporarily off our rockers,

Hobbling our eager asses,

You crack me up, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh so much. You're not far from what really goes on in nursing homes based on my observations when my mother and m-i-l were in one.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, this is hilarious! Romance nursing home style...lol
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny, Sherry! I think you wrote it for me? Lol!
ReplyDeletewhat a delight! May we age gracefully. Everyone gets old, it seems like so few maintain happiness through it...
