The Unforgetable Look


Just last Saturday that went by,
we went on a drive, roomies and I
Deep down south on page mill road,
a forest so scenic, like god's abode
Dense dark clouds above the head,
we just drove, where the roads lead
A gentle drizzle blessed our way
A fresh breeze made it a spray

I lowered the window,
put out my face
as the car picked up some pace
Opened my mouth, lowered my tongue,
to taste these drops so very young
The wind and water felt so great
I was in one, really happy state!

Then our car stopped at a red light,
beside us was another car, in close sight
Staring at me was a poodle so white
Our eyes met - the moment felt like eternity,
it gave me this look - all smart and witty
I pulled in my tongue, but it was too late,
it had already made its statement, mate,
"Behave yourself, will ya?"

    @sharatu
    Thanks, hmm I wonder if that profession would have good retirement benefits :P
    @A M
    Firstly, its a non-trivial task to stick your tongue outside the window and drive at the same time... I was fortunate to be in the passenger seat.
    Next, if it was a cop car, I wonder if I would have really pulled in my tongue ;P
