Definition of a Point

Pointing her index finger towards me, with a frown asked the young fair lady, "Do you know the definition of points?" To me it was a big disappointment. At that point among us ,the back benchers, a discussion about lovers' point was 'on' there, it was then the question was thrown to me, "Answer must be to the point"yelled she! Various points were coming to my mind then, did she ask for 'point' or 'points' in question? No point in asking her to repeat it, started thinking about the point(s) little bit. Seeing me blank and pointless till then, one of the friend poke my back with pointed pen, along it came a whisper in my ear, "to pinpoint the answer you just look at her!" As I looked at her reddened and angry face, the answer came to my mind with a sudden flash, "Madam,a point is a dimensionless slender dot, just like your little cute beauty spot!" =============================== Placement:7th Contest:What's the point?

This is adorable and so well written to use "point" in many different forms. Loved your last line. What woman's heart wouldn't melt upon hearing that? Wishing you success in Paula's contest. I kept trying to write for this contest, but my efforts were pointless. LOL Love, Carolyn

oh,my , this is close to genius when I think that you are not a native English speaker. I mean, to understand all the subtle differences of the word Point and then to come to this striking final stanza. This is just wonderful, Kasinath. a big 7 rating for this one. LUv, Andrea
