Best Vacation Ever
While vacationing in a foreign city,
I was having coffee at an outside café.
I saw her approach, she was looking pretty.
I knew at once I wanted her to stay.
I invited her to sit at my table.
Most spots were taken up.
She smiled and took off her sable.
Sat and set down her coffee cup.
She said it was kind of me to offer.
She just needed her morning jump.
I said the expresso with its froth here.
It will wire you for a jump.
She laughed and said it hit the spot.
She asked me about myself.
I said vacationing, not a lot.
She said with someone or by yourself?
By myself. Just a little down time.
She said she thought only she did that.
Are you on vacation? What a line.
We both laughed. The rest is fact.
She smelled like peaches and cream.
We hit it off from the very start.
We were almost neighbors, it seemed.
We ended up walking in a park.
From there it was like a dream come true.
Neither expected anything like this.
It just shows, if you haven’t a clue.
It can end up being a life of bliss.
