Hey you guys out there...... was just wondering...
Ever been out on a trawl looking for some action?
Hangin' out in this really quite watering hole...... wondering why you're there & what to do or where to go next.... when this really cute bird suddenly appears out of nowhere.
I mean like.., she is everything you could possibly dream of..... beautiful....,elegant........, full-breasted...., wearing this really hot black feathery body-clinging outfit......., a body to die for...., a pair of eyes that could melt you down to your socks from 50 paces..........
You don't know what to do.....
She just won't look in your direction so you can see the real beauty of her classic features.
You want to get her attention... You need to get her attention..... but you don't wan't to scare her off.
The seconds tick by & it seems like an eternity. She still won't look in your direction!!
You are sure she has noticed you from the corner of one of her beautiful dark eyes as she sips her drink.
The seconds are racing by...... you need to do something drastic and quick.
She may never look in your direction...... she'll just move on to the next watering hole.
The moment & the opportunity could be lost forever.
So you try & impress her...........
.....you take a couple of short sharp shots like a Flaming Lamborghini in quick succession.....
You look up with relish in your eyes expecting that glorious moment...........but she is gone..... your dreams have disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.
You take another couple of shots at the same watering hole in frustration...... or in the forlorn hope that she might magically reappear.
How would you deal with it?
Would you keep hangin' out in the same watering hole?
Would you go back there day after day?.... hoping
... or would you just forget her and move on?
Anyway was just wondering.....
