Not What I Thought

Eyes first met at the salad bar Had our first kiss out in my car I’m just thinking a one-night thing She tells me she will need a ring So much for wishing on a star

How true. Twas after a divorce and the worst time of my life or I'd never been in that situation to begin with. Good comment, Caren. Hugs, Bill

Nothing like a handy cigar band when a ring is suddenly called for - but likely with little satisfaction (or positive result). A fun, clever limerick, Bill. Congratulations! Brian

A fine mess you’ve gotten yourself into. Makes me think of the song by Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light. ;)

Amusing write; got to watch those salad bars. They aren't what they are advertised to be. Thanks for your visit.

The old salad bar romance ended before it got to the undressing.
