Startled
An acquaintance
and former neighbor
I haven't seen for eons
sneaks up and
excitedly grips
my shoulders from behind.
The sudden jolt
of electricity
that was his hands!
Oh, he got my attention alright!
He scared the dickens
out of me
I'm not gonna lie!
Not that I held it against him.
He just wanted to say
hello...and Happy New Year!
He's got a funny way
of saying it, though
Yeah, I don't like such surprises...
Nice fella. It was a pleasure
meeting him
after a long time!
