Prayers Are Answered a First Date Contest

All dressed up in white blouse and skirt of plaid Shoes were old and scruffy that made me sad Curly hair brushed with satin bow Looked my best mum said, she should know Waited near the door for his knock Opened it quickly, what a shock Scruffy shirt, trousers with a hole Sure his feet were sticking out of the sole After wiping his nose on his sleeve….with A toothy smile on face said should we leave Told me I was too posh for him Rather go with Shirley he said with grin “Do that” I cried with a nod Promising to say 10 Hail Mary’s…. to thank God. Contest run by Brenda Chiri named A first date Penned on January 25 2018

This is very cute Seren! ...yeah, avoid that guy!... saw your painting on simplesite, and now I see you did decide to use it as your avatar :)... very talented. I have to admire anyone who can both write and draw (and paint)... I'm a pretty good writer, but even my stick people look dis-functional ha ha!! May your inspiration keep flowing :)
