    Riding Bottle Rockets at the Rendezvous

    Riding Bottle Rockets at the Rendezvous



    Don’t spit champagne at people
    unless
    you want them to leave you alone.
    It works.
    Just be precious when you do it.

    As you toss wine soaked napkin balls,
    arrange your face in innocence
    to that wet splat
    against a bare back.
    Corner-eye their culprit search.

    Express too innocent, of course,
    so they won’t allow the fun to someone else.
    When they grouse,” Hey,”
    simper, “What?”
    Then bite your bottom lip.

    There are no limits
    to champagne frivolity,
    acquiring friends,
    and even a black pair of socks.
    The laughter, the stares,
    the amusing anecdotes.

    Edward’s wife was not amused.
    Ed was.
    We toasted once
    and then again
    to that great old sex god in the sky.

    “To Potation, may he fall to earth and inhabit our pants.”

    Oh, champagne, you green bottled hot wave of tickle.
    I love your mode of transportation.

    Teetering, little giggles
    and “Oopsy,” as bubbly spills.

    Head, shoulder blades heavy at two
    Legs don’t work.
    So many new friends.
    Offers to take me home.
    Eddy poo.

    “Oh, no you don’t,” warned Susie Ellen, my spoil-sport pal.
    She doesn’t trust. Hates tickle.


    HAPPY NEW YEAR

    Hi apple. Intriguing, I should try this on my ex (maybe he'd leave me alone. Most amusing

    One line caused me to pause

    Express too innocent, of course,
    innocent feels like it should be innocence but i'unsure.

    Thanks for the read

    I love you for this, Sondra, thank you, you made my day. Agree with Shadows regarding innocence, no nits aside from that. Great fun, love, particularly enjoyed your voice in this one. Happy New Year, but no champagne for you.

    Thanks for joining me at the Rendezvous, I'm glad you had fun. I got so annoyed at that woman, tho. lol.

    I had the hardest time trying to figure what you meant by "express too innocent" (innocence) because in the stanza before i said someting about arranging your face in innocence and then I said 'express too innocent, of course" in the next stanza. I understand now what you mean Express too much innocence, of course,. duh

    thanks, shadows, Foxryder and little Lisa for reading. Hope next year is a great one for us all.

    Sondra

    What a naughty adventuress you are Sondra. I too loved the humorous, playful nature shown here. Hope your New Year is wonderful, hope you've practiced that 'innocent' look in the mirror to perfection.

    Thank you, Cindy. I'm practicing in the mirror, because since I moved from California to the bible belt , that innocent look is imperative on New Years Eve.


    Happy New Year
