Unwanted Gaze

At a water slide a man eyed me
He stared at a spot above my knee
   ‘Twas later I learned
   His gaze I had earned
My swimsuit revealed a strange goatee 



*This really happened!  Written April 25, 2015 for Jan’s contest.

This is so funny! A friend of mine told me one time she went to the bathroom in the mall, then walked around the food court 3 or 4 times deciding what to eat. It was cold when she sat down and she realized she had tucked her skirt into her panty hose!..........pat

It was embarrassing, Pat. At first, I thought he was staring at my legs. Then the gal with me noticed it and I rushed off to the loo. Thanks for reading an oldie!

When my friend Sandra told me about the "goatee," I finally realized why he was staring. Yikes! I'll have to be more careful when I wear that swimsuit.
