Peach Lace Skirt

She strutted in a peach lace skirt,
Engaged in conversation.
Her legs were bare for temps were warm –
From tights, a liberation!

It brought me back to younger years – 
That breeziness and hope,
When sunny days held promises
Which left no time to mope.

Her office beckoned, I was sure
But there’d be time to flirt,
For how could anyone resist
That brand-new peach lace skirt?

There is a lot to be said for women who wear skirts and dresses. Always a fun read, Mrs Ilene:)
