A Sip of Love

clutching at straws
heads touching they slowly sipped
a shared ice cream soda

Good thing they did not kiss with this pandemic around. Clever ruse. ~~

hahaha, an actual CLUTCHING at straws that also serves as its own metaphor for what may happen with them. You are so good!

Good one, John. I doubt very many here have ever had the pleasure. Just not the world we live in anymore. We had an old drugstore with a counter where one could order a burger, fries and shake for less than 50 cents.. Those were the good old days.
