Sexual harassment in office Sexual harassment in officehttp://www.twodozendesign.info/i/1.png inappropriate touching stock illustrations

He put his hand on my butt, at my age
Maybe I should have mooned him full of rage
'Twould be nothing like the act, he'd set stage
The eclipsed moon awed, let me give applaud
Spiritual thing broad, now staring unflawed
The eclipse was beautiful that long night
Years ago, when Luna flower bloomed white
As observed from my small place near the bight
Sad state of affairs, when man touched backstairs
With Him pain she shares, looks at moon upstairs
Hand on my behind at my old, old age
Left me distressed and somewhat confused, awed
Years pass, I don't cry during the dark night
Time has healed; talking with the Man upstairs

Some men forget that an elderly woman has to be treated with respect and not to be 'toyed'. I can sense your resentment. Well expressed dear Sara.

Lay not your hand upon a woman’s moon. Outrageous. Sorry for your plight!

Which way were you talking. Age demands respect as you imply. or is this just fantasy and you want a man to touch your behind. And give you the benefit of the doubt. The exact reason women can't get my attention when I want to give it to them.

John, At least, I got you to thinking. Well, it is about a person accused of harassment. Well, Rock Hudson was a handsome man but no one wants uninvited attention (at least I don't think so). Sara
