The Shoe Store Bantering

She jiggled like pink jello into the store with platinum blonde hair and red rouge on her face the shoe clerk mumbled it must be 1950's day watching her strut around with a hanky made out of lace She said hi hon you know why I'm here he replied let me guess, you wear a size eight she said well if the shoe fits I might as well wear it and maybe later if you get lucky you can be my date So she scouted around and found a pair and sat down with tight dress flair he thought to himself I think I'm in love with Mae West looking her up and down and at her chest He gently took her foot and slid her old high heel off his hand sliding up and starting to cruise she batted her eyelashes and said oh keep it coming, she toyed saying, why don't you come up and see me later big boy With that he winked and slid the new heels on watching her walk around like Mae West she said you know I know you like me big boy but my eyes are up here and not on my chest With that he gave her a long wolf whistle and said you know I just can't resist now stop acting your shoe size sexy pulling her towards him giving her a passionate kiss She whispered hon is that your gun or are you just happy to see me he said guess what my little chickadee tonight you can be my Bacall and I'll be your Bogie With that she left the store with customers galore staring, whispering and looking aghast he said out loud, come on... get a life... I know we're a little kooky, but she happens to be my wife! 2-7-18

Omg! Lol! This is awesome story-telling Cheryl. You had me on the hook all the way.. what a great twist at the end. Your last stanza brings your incredible write to a scene-stealing and me-smiling (and chuckling) end! A big congratulations on your first place win. Warmest wishes. ~Susan

Another good one Cheryl. You had me going until the end, I was like, that's a pretty forward shoe salesman! Mentioning Mae West always makes me think of her line.....I used to be Snow White but I drifted!........80)
