Limerence

A Monday morning, nineteen ninety-one sat at my desk within I.T support the first working minute had not yet gone the phone rang- 'normal day' or so I thought. The call was from a damsel in distress her voice was unfamiliar to me I grabbed my tools and set off nonetheless in ignorance of how things hence would be. A fresh faced blonde rose from her desk and smiled her voice danced like the daisies in the breeze one gentle laugh and I was left beguiled and though we became friends, no chance I seized. Do I regret the choices I have made? Oh precious memory, why must you fade? For contest 'Limerence', sponsor Nayda Ivette Negron

Thanks, Laura, although since I notice you call yourself Luloo, every time I see your name, I will now sing we-e-e-e-e-ll...... which is the start of the song 'Shout' by Lulu from 1965. My God, I'm going to make my missus life hell now :) Viv x
