You and Eye

It can't be real, did I just see That cute young girl just wink at me I'm sure I must have seen it wrong But just in case, I'll play along I steal another furtive glance Again I catch her eye by chance She looked straight at me and that's when I saw her wink at me again With lush red lips and hair so blonde I know somehow I must respond Should I just return her wink My hearts on fire, I've got to think I look again and she's still there Running her fingers through her hair I'd love to know what she is thinking All I know is she's still winking I get up and walk toward her The space between us just a blur I greet her with “how do you do”? She looks and says “do I know you”? “We've never met I do not think” I'm here because I saw you wink I must admit to my surprise I'll bet you have your pick of guys She said “I think you misconstrued” I wasn't winking at you dude That isn't what this is about You see, my contact lens fell out

Oh, you really had me going with this tale of new love, Bob. Then the punch line at the end had me laughing out loud. Hey, I'm blonde and if you look my way, I'll wink at you! Very nice work, my friend. Love, Carolyn
