Uncommon Courtesy

The bookstore door

startles open with

a man's hearty hand

and sincere smile 

landing upon

this skirted lady, 

bashful to be 

coddled, but

undoubtedly 

wanting it.

Mirrored cheeks widen  

like the open door

with hearts extending.

Thanks is verbalized

and humbly

appreciated.

He tilts his top hat

and I am flattered

by the flirt

of uncommon

courtesy.

Wonderful... Though beware the wolf in sheep's clothing... You never know these days who's real or not anymore... I draw the line at touching. A tip of the hat, an opening of the door, a smile and cheerful greeting, even an innocent compliment -- all ok. But even a casual touch,... you never know... Just sayin' ~ gw

So cute a description of courtesy. I do not like when women protest this kind of thing (and some weird women do!)

Beautiful! I was on a celebrity ship where you could sample very expensive wine. You put money in and get a small sample. One man heard me say I would love to try one and he put money in the machine. I never saw his kind face and the wine was delicious!
