Observations

 

I’m ostensibly shy yet most would ask: You Sure?
As my life has unfurled, I’ve felt self confidence mature.

 

Yet easily ‘floored’ by a rebuff or reaction;
There’s clearly ‘a signal’ that accompanies  levels of attraction.

 

Recently a light hearted approach I made was met with disdain;
Not put off by the retort, I would still use it again.

 

Approaching two ladies I chortled, ‘Good evening girls’;
One replied I’M NOT thus my remark shrank into ‘curls’!

 

I felt myself examining her, as if I had xray eyes;
I’m a Woman, she remarked, which came as no surprise!

 

I clearly pressed ‘her wrong button’, indeed chose the wrong remark;
Whilst not unattractive, I might be feared of her, alone, in the dark.

 

We all value our space and though I meant her no harm;
She became quite defensive, giving cause for alarm.

 

Personalty, appearance, self esteem, height and weight;
We all have our foibles that can cause social unrest, perhaps ‘Hate’.

 

Knee jerk reaction may be regretted; but by then the scene is set;
The road back can be long, though maybe, not finished: Yet!

 

I have noticed o’er the years, even those ‘neighbourly’ friendships decline;
Engrossed in TV and Technology; Survival pressures, Undermine!

 

‘We need to look into ourselves’, I include myself in that statement;
If it were not for Business and Meetings, my ‘People Contact’ could become quite Latent!!

 

We are becoming engrossed in the implications of ‘P.C.’
Methinks, a Good Long Life is more important; Especially to Me!!
