Sizzling Hot

On a hot summer’s day nearly forty degree,
Ageing couple sprawled under an oak tree,
said she with a shy toothless grin,
“If you really wish I will let you sin”,
“No, my dear” he said “I prefer a cup of tea!”

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/7/2020 12:30:00 PM Ha, ha! Very good, Krish! Wonder how that jilted woman feels. Her ego was burnt to a 'T!' Smiles, Gershon Login to Reply Mohan Chutani Date: 6/18/2020 11:14:00 PM I donot think she is going to leave the old man like that. Haha. Krish Radhakrishna Date: 6/7/2020 1:00:00 PM Gershon Thanks! I hope she would interpret it as Summer laziness!
