He asked me to the movies,
I anxiously agreed,
And now I sit upon his couch,
Wond’ring where this will lead.
Although he’s quite seductive,
He’s yet to make a move,
He asks me to excuse him while,
He runs to the restroom.
No assumptions made as to,
The chance of getting lucky,
Perhaps I should just change into,
Something a bit more comfy.
For there is no mistaking,
That he was quite flirtatious,
I wouldn’t want to kill the mood,
To deal with my shoe laces.
So I look down at my boots,
And to avoid the awkward,
I think it’s best to take them off,
It’s really not too forward.
He comes back from the bathroom,
He very nearly scoffs,
He asks of me so mockingly,
Just why my boots are off.
I begin to take my leave,
Without missing a beat,
But first, of course, these stupid boots,
Must go back on my feet.
Though I planned so carefully,
I never really fathomed,
The situation so much more,
Awkward than I imagined.
why did you put these boots !
Or maybe the better question would be, why did I wear them?!
Saying the wrong thing out of cluelessness is a skill that must be unlearned by many of us.
But I worked so hard on perfecting that art!
😀
Thanks!
Ouch! 😀
I’ll say!
In the name of vanity! Though those boots come in handy had the situation and advances are unwanted!😉
This is true! Perhaps a part two where I find myself in a sticky situation with an unwanted admirer and blame it all on the boots!!
Ooohh some kinky boots, eh? Lol
I think it’s safe to say that this conjures up awkward memories for almost all of us. Ouch indeed!
It certainly does for me! I’m glad I have some sympathy here!
We guys are not always the smarties cookies in the cookie jar. Next time, let him take off your boots. Some guys don’t appreciate things unless they have to work for them.
Heh, I’ve always been to easy!
Oh, forgot one thing Happy Thanksgiving.
And same to you Don! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ah, a simple action that led to several interpretations.
That’s what I was going for. I’m glad you picked up on it!
Love the boots. Why not leave them on?
I guess that could be a possibility if I was wearing a skirt…
😀
Thanks!
you write so well of these little moments…:)
Much appreciated!
🙂
Awkward! lol What to do in a situation like that….. Did you ever see him again?
Actually, this account is somewhat fictional but it’s based on countless similar incidents. I don’t want to go into too much detail, but in my younger years I would go out in lace up platforms, a bunch of bracelets and vinyl skinny jeans. After some experience, I knew enough to take them off before things got too hot and heavy. Thankfully, no one ever told me to put them back on!
Awkward. Down with laces!
Yep, why didn’t I think of that when I was buying the shoes?! Got to make sure the next pair I buy has one of those zipper dealies!
Fun times!!!
Oh, for sure!
Pass those boots on to your daughter in her teen years! They’ll be like a below the waist chastity belt…a chastity anklet. Just a thought :).
Ha! You know who would really appreciate that comment? Her father!!
That sounds about right. Hope you had a great holiday!
Same to you Kim!
I just hate it when that happens!
I know, right?
“One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!” Loved this and especially how you rhymed flirtatious with laces.
Thanks Stephanie! I did almost call the poem These Boots and then had a sudden flash of inspiration right before publishing.
Happy Thanksgiving to the whole Rock and Roll SuperMom family!
How nice of you Phil! And a Happy Thanksgiving to the Taylors as well!
Wonderfully rhymed and very amusing!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

Loved this! I could feel the awkward!
All too familiar with the awkward I’m afraid. Story of my life! Glad it finally made a positive impact.
These boots were made for walking. Just the wrong person walking. Absolute fun! 😃
Thanks! And, you can say that again!
Feeling the expectations turn shame. The persona must have been so disappointed. 🙂 But it’s all part of life.
Yes, I suppose that is true. Well, the expectations are kind of silly anyway! Thanks for your comment!
Silly but human, let’s note that.
Good work. Loving the story-poem.
Thanks Benjamin!
You’re welcome.

Ah, the complex questions that run like electric wires in dating.
