Bring Me Home
What I'd like to give you is an ounce of my cologne.
It promises not to turn heads, but to keep level heads.
Trust me when I say, "I've been around the bin a few times".
Word to the wise, "If it turns your head, keep a level head".
We all have heard it said, "Kids say the darndest things". Fact is,
we hear darndest things from all of us. Fact is, my wife said something
the other day that caught me off guard, surprising me just a bit.
Returning home with a completed list of 'honey dos', I shared
with my wife a little incident I felt would be of interest to her.
I said, "Honey, I passed a lady on the walkway whose perfume
was so strong with an aroma that stayed with me several steps
past her. I paused for a moment and started to say something,
but remembering the kind of world we presently live in, I refrained
and continue on. Yes, I wanted to compliment her, and thinking of you,
I wanted to ask the name of her perfume; but she was a perfect stranger,
and I was afraid". My wife replied by saying that I should have followed
through with the compliment and secured the name of the product. My wife is the sweetest person with the most beautiful smile, and is much better with
people. So, her reply to me was just 'a little bit' surprising-not a lot. It's true that, maybe, this story would have had a most dramatic ending had I secured
the name, purchased the perfume and brought it home to my lovely wife. All the same though, I prefer the story just the way it is.
