First Impressions
by Leslie Noyes
He’d cultivated a gravelly voice, thinking it was sexy and maybe a bit authoritative.
She’d perfected a killer walk, seductive and full of promise.
Watching her closely he decided she was out of his league and never spoke a word within her hearing.
Thinking him aloof, she refused to take a single step, and simply ignored him.
The end.
In response to the Daily Post’s Daily Prompt:
Witness Protection. When you do something scary or stressful–bungee jumping or public speaking, etc.–do you prefer to be surrounded by friends or by strangers? Why?
No shrinking violet, am I
Yet the circumstances do decree
If an audience of strangers or friends
Is preferable to me.
When speaking to a group
Of unfamiliar folks my
Sense of timing is impeccable
And I’m full of witty jokes.
At karaoke, though, I find
The better I know the crowd
The more relaxed my vocal chords
So I sing out loud and proud.
If ever I should bungee jump
I want six friends around
To serve as my pall bearers
In case I splatter on the ground.
Peace, people!
