He walked home
alone
After they had
kissed goodnight
Recalling her
words
But they puzzled
him
She’d said “Where
are we going?”
He had no answer
As he trudged
along
The cold wind
whipped around him
Just what had she
meant?
Was it a concert?
Perhaps a weekend
away?
Then the penny
dropped
His heart beat
faster
Oh! She wants to
be married!
It’s too soon
surely?
When he got back
home
“Just what do you
think of Jill?”
He asked his
mother
“Yes, she a good
lass
Isn't she dating
others?”
So he shook his
head
She smiled, and
then thought
“I always wanted
a daughter
We get on well
too”

Ah, now that's the question in some long term relationships. This might be his warning! Great poem, OE
ReplyDeleteI like the way it took him awhile to figure out what she meant. And the moment of realization was precious. The penny dropped. Loved it, Old Egg.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Old Egg! This made me smile, love done the old-fashioned way! Apparently his girlfriend and his mother are eager and ready for the next step. I hope he is too!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! The logical step would be marriage.
ReplyDeleteNice when mom-in-law & daughter-in-law get on well. Wow! His Mom actually will treat her like her daughter! That's lovely :)
An honest story. I wonder why we are so afraid to just say what we mean without all the hinting around and about. People are a puzzle...especially people in love.
