Meeting Suzette On a Watermelon Bike

She came along casually riding a watermelon bike. I was merely walking down the street on an intended hike. She yelled “Hey, Pete, or Samuel or Ike!” You see I am a triplet, and this is what it is like. I am Suzette, she said, introducing herself in a sweet way. I wondered how she knew our names in just one day. They had just moved here this morning from down Chester way. I noticed that her blue eyes had a tinge of silver and gray. Want to ride on the handle bars? She asked with a sassy smile. I did for sure, but flatulence kept me walking on that lonely mile. Maybe some other day, I told her with a wink and a sigh. She never asked me again, for she was now dating Cy. Sometimes in the night I dream of taking a ride on that bike. I would sit on the handle bars as confident as my brother Ike. I wake up in a cold sweat, wishing she was my intended wife. But alas, I am just me in the morning, with a boring dull life.

This is such a cute write Caren.... ! I love it so much. You turned down the offer to ride on the bike as 'flatulence compelled you to walk that lonely mile'! (smiles) Congratulations on your great win in Mystic Rose's contest.
