Words That Sigh

It's important to point out

That bringing masking tape

On a first date

Is not considered style.

 

And squashing a slug

With the auto biography

Of Trevor Mcdonald

Is certainly not couragious.

 

This may seem ridiculous to you

But in some parts of the world

This is considered objective observationism.

Wry is definitely the word I would use - and quirky too.

I would imagine the masking tape was for your date not yourself. Not something I would accept on the first date or ever... x

Your words dance into the mind, always with a flashy choreography all your own, and a bite in the message. Is the masking tape to shut you up, or the other person? Or am I naive about all the purposes of masking tape?

I like the tone and pointed address / challenge to the reader. Very wry, I think. :D

really like this, Kealan but there does seem to be a extra beat in the last stanza that jars with me a little.. otherwise, i think this is top stuff... A
