Stress to some
is exhilirating
producing a snap
of firecrackers
jumping jacks
bungers and rockets
Stress to others
is a wilted lettuce
badly applied maquillage
coloured smudges
donning a couple of chandeliers
wolfing down butterfly cakes
shopping for shoes clothes
everything
Why are shopgirls calling me darling?
Why did a complete stranger put an arm around me
in the fruit market?
Must be the makeup
Not at all, it's because you are enticing!
ReplyDeleteStress is both of your extremes - I always needed the stress of a deadline to get me going, revelled in it. But nowadays - wilted lettuce that I am -I just take life as it comes
Just can't stop folks from being friendly! The sales ladies at one of our suppliers keep calling me 'love' or 'lovey', which of course, I am!
ReplyDeleteWe get a lot of 'dears' and 'hons' here said by waiters and check-out clerks. (Or wait, maybe it is just ME! LOL)
ReplyDeleteI think they were after those luscious earrings...
