-JACKPOT - POTD

They chatted for so long
The day was here to meet
She was so excited
Feeling her hearts every beat

He was Scottish and oh so lovely
She thought he may be the one
She had looked for red flags
But there had been none

Meeting place was at the pier
The wind was blowing a fearsome gale
Her beautiful brushed hair blew wild and free
The gusts were steadfast with no intention to curtail

He stood there handsomely in traditional Scottish dress
She thought her heart had stopped
A mighty gust of wind then blew his kilt up 
Thats the moment she knew…..she had hit the jackpot!!

Deb, You had me smiling with "Jackpot" because! the thrill of not knowing, and discovering a feminine wind blew and his kilt was gift wrap. I like the way you played your instrument and simmered us with laughter. Bravo!
