The Flirting Game Put your lips together and blow she said And somehow the words stayed in my head I’d often say them, as I’d start to be a flirt And ignored disapproval from stuffed shirts But somehow with you I couldn’t play games With a look from you I forget my own name Becoming almost tongue-tied and a little shy But knowing here within that I can really fly Fasten your seatbelt prepare for a bumpy night And I’d laugh and add something wittily light But while you looked at me with those eyes The lines disappeared to be replaced with sighs One flash of your smile and I was a dead duck And thinking that speechless I was out of luck Not like me to be so nervous and unsure of me This place of uncertainty is not a fun place to be Is that a gun in your pocket or you’re glad it’s me Then I’d wink and say shall I just look and see But with you this is different I’ve lost all my wit I can’t remember to talk at all not even a bit All my sparkling repartee has flown far away And the little quips I’ve forgotten what I’d say This is a different me one who’s quiet and still While I stare my eyes sip at you taking their fill Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Ain't it the truth, mushy? Somehow all the cute sayings, witticisms and flirt lines just disappear when THE ONE appears...that lucky guy  |

Marsha~ So prim and proper you have become, batting lashes with aplomb ! Attraction is attraction, no matter how you play the game You little flirt-skirt ... you have not changed !  Loving your teasing-pleasing and flirting. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

But as always you say exactly the right things, and thanks for the wonderful.

Margie girl, normally that's me the flirt skirt, but this is different, when it doesn't matter I can flirt, when it does, the flirting stops. Thank you love as always. I'm sorry you weren't on the other reply, but I was chatting you know but actually to a real live person love, my daughter no 2 was complaining about daughter no 1. (They are both old enough to complain to each other, but I always end up having to stand between them)Thank you love always Take care love Mushy Bill love, thank you muchly, I'm sorry this took so long but I'm still trying to keep them from killing each other. Thank you truly Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
