I saw you in my past one day, Sitting by the poolside café. Your attraction was poise and grace, Mona Lisa smile on your face. Sophistication was your charm, Me? I was from down on the farm. Mona Lisa smile on your face, You were high-toned intricate lace. Our eyes met, my heart I misplaced, Mona Lisa smile on your face. You looked away, you were demure, I was smitten by your allure. Mona Lisa smile on your face, I felt I was in outer space. Found the grit to speak to you, Felt like the winner of a coup. |

Yes to "coup de foudre," although I needed to look it up. I like the expression and I'm sure it will end up n the next novel I write. Thanks, Margherita. ~ Employ teenagers while they know everything. ~ |

It was an inevitable thing. I looked. I saw. I continued looking. Thanks, Prasad. ~ Eggs and bacon, honeymoon style / What's honeymoon style? / Straight up and hard. ~ |

I think this is grand. Switch the genders and it reminds me of a man I once saw who had Paul Newman eyes. I married him. |

Now those eyes were something to see. I'm talking about Paul Newman. I'm a man and I was even struck by those blue eyes. SOB had everything else to go along with those eyes too. Liked Newman. Thanks for stopping by, Marcia. ~ Eggs and bacon, honeymoon style / What's honeymoon style? / Straight up and hard. ~ |
