THIS IS A TRUE LIFE POEM - THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.  I WAS INSIDE AND 

UPSTAIRS SO IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO TELL HER, SHE WOULD HAVE 

DISAPPEARED BY THE TIME I GOT OUTSIDE.

                                              *********************************

I was up in our bedroom one morning, tidying and dusting away,

When I looked out of the window, to admire the beautiful day.

It was then that I spotted her and it was a great, big surprise.

I smiled and then laughed heartily, because she was such a sight for sore eyes.

All the years I have lived here, she has never spoken to me.

I tried to be friendly with her, but it wasn't meant to be.

When I've tried, she's looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.

So, I thought, why bother to hurry, it's not my business, why should I care?

Someone will tell her soon, I thought, perhaps someone in the shop,

Or someone waiting for the infrequent bus at the local bus stop.

Perhaps there is justice after all? Or was I being unkind?

Thoughts of regret and guiltiness, fluttered through my mind.

Someone had to have told her, perhaps someone in the shop,

Or someone waiting for the infrequent bus at the local bus stop.

But I would've loved to have heard their words and listened to their snickers,

The day that she walked up the road, with her skirt tucked in her.....

Knickers!
