Nudge Nudge - Wink Wink

[Title changed from ‘Double Talk’ as I’ve
used that title before]
                     ________

This was the place that he’d chosen to go
They do a great starter of avocado
Everyone ordered the same starter there
And he'd always wink and say what a nice pear

His girl said this could be a very nice date
But please don’t be smutty or I’ll get irate

The cafe was German, renowned for its wurst
Each lady he liked he would take her there first
Which allowed him to use a one liner or two
Like I’m gonna get a hot sausage for you

Again his date felt that she must speak her mind
Speak dirty again and I’ll leave you behind 

As for desert, there was one choice to make
She didn’t want ice cream so she ordered cake 
His choice of words might have upset his mother
When he said I’d like a bit of the other

His date said what is it you don’t understand
Your double entendres are way out of hand 

Tell me she said, do you like horses
He said I've been on a few riding courses 
Nowadays I stick to my trusty land-rover
As I always struggled to get my leg over

That’s it, she bellowed, your mind is too shady
I only want you to treat me like a lady

He said I get nervous, don’t know what to say
She said lose the smut and you're doing okay 
Talk about family... or friends if you’d rather
Okay he said... how’s your father

Thank you, Jan. Changed title as I’d used ‘Double Talk’ before. Sorry for this shameless self promotion, but i think you might have missed the first one as I’m sure it’s right up your street. Look up ‘Double Talk’ (page two in my list), I think you’ll like it, but I won’t be offended if you don’t.Terry

Thanks Rico. Glad you enjoyed. Sometimes comments are like tv commercials, and are as good or better than the program. Terry

Gosh, I didn't know the young ladies were that sensitive nowadays. I'm afraid I would have ditched that prude very quickly if all that she considered smutty.

I don’t know much about today’s young ladies. The last one I asked out is still rolling around on the floor, laughing hysterically. :-( Terry

The fellow's in a smut-rut... Humor off-the-charts as usual, Terry. You sure set your standards high -- even when your punch lines are below the belt! lol. Thanks, Gershon

Thanks Gershon, I dithered over that last line because I wasn’t sure that ‘how’s your father’ was a universal term. Just hoped for the best. Terry

Hello Terry … should have told her it’s a filthy mind that turns things into smut, but then you’d only be ordering for one - thanks Terry - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay. Thanks. When I checked with Mr Google, Australia was the only other nation that definitely uses ‘how’s your father’. ;-) Terry
