Has he met himself?
Now THAT would be a bend in the book.

Himself in a skirt...

but this night, jeans
so contrived, it seems

she is charming, as he thinks to himself...
"those one liners, they should be said by... ME"

(thinking of you, good night xxx)
the dog rests on her chest
its enough to make a man
raise an eyebrow

blatant sexual innuendos,
"I'm easy, I like things that are easy"
His poker face, suppressed grin reply,
not even looking her in the eye

He is playing coy, we say
he's just dumbfounded, that way
swip flip swift swap drift
spin spun the tables
lift

left to her...
he thinks back... to...
walking the dog

they spoke of, blatantly referred to...
falling in love

she held the leash in one hand,
her large purse in the other
they walk and the dog crosses over.

Now she could, easily
swap hands, leash from the right
leash to the left
hand

side by side, walks,
glares/gazes the man
she does a pirouette

now the dog is back...
on the right side

not just once, twice
his eyes scope her, up and down
now thrice

he tries not to notice
this obvious seductive sway
but a man could fall in love
with such and round about
Czech me out... don't say it
(too late)

display...

Great ending... I like the way the tables turned here.  Nicely done.
