Hard to Swallow

...a little wit and whimsy!

Hard to Swallow

            

 

It was a crowded bus
that allowed me   
the proximity of him.

The relative humidity

was climbing
as my eyes took him in…
the opened shirt
the stressed jeans,
the crossed leg upon the bent knee.

I tried hard not to stare
at the size of his boots,
wondering - aimlessly
if it gave any credence to

the analogy it emulates

I pulled my lip into my mouth
biting hard in contemplation,
smiling my most cheshire grin

Such truths ,
analogically speaking
would be hard to swallow!

Who knew a bus ride would cause such a flutter of activity? I am so happy to see you, Julie...thank you so much!

I don't think that there is any distinct correlation to this discussion. You will never know the answer to the question on the floor without asking it! Where's Da Meat?

[Kelly Scheppers]

It was just a thought that I gave some validation to...mostly in jest! Thank you for reading and commenting.

LOL.. love this, and I would say no to that analogy, Hun..It does not pan out..I usually look at hand proportions and just know..lol I love that you put into words what so many women think. I haven't read the comments below, but I bet some of the guys were a bit shocked and turned on at the thought. I sometimes wonder why they think women sleep with them.. (rolls her eyes)
Love the pun at the last line...fabulously funny.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank so much, Jan! Yeah, I think some of the guys even considered going up a few sizes! Lol, gotta love'em though!

[JayceeC]

LOL yeah they just can't help it...bless their hearts

[Jamestown]

Saucy! The wording creates such clear images in my mind,
obviously my mind is focused on beautiful legs crossed on
bent knee along with nibbling of luscious lips, your mind on
BOOTS:) LMAO!!! Well penned, thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Kelly Scheppers]

...the legs were his, darlin...I was taking HIM in! Gosh, I miss those days of riding the MTA! Thank you, Jamestown! Many blessings to you, as well!

OH MY...giggling uncontrollably here....hard to swallow? stressed jeans? Humidity is certainly rising here....in anticipation of something else rising perhaps? LOL Kelly, this one rocks! Clever and sensual. Love that graphic too....that must be YOU behind the Foster Grants! Lydi**

And they are everlasting...
