for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 27 November 2020, fidelity.
Another disagreement,
Another evening fight,
To try and find a way to cool,
Takes off into the night.
She hails a passing taxi,
She’s not quite in her mind,
As taxi passes lit-up bar,
Might help her to unwind.
Decides in a split-second,
Commands the cab to halt,
Then seats herself on bar stool,
And orders up a malt.
One drink after another,
The whiskey comes at pace,
As head becomming fuzzy,
She sees a smiling face.
The man then introduces,
She likes his cheeky smile,
He makes her feel attractive,
He’s charming all the while.
He’s just here for a conference,
A stranger here in town,
A stylish young divorcee,
He helps her sorrows drown.
Enjoying time together,
He’s gentle, suave and kind,
They flirt as drinks are flowing,
Forgets the man behind.
…
It’s closing time already,
The barman shuts down tap,
Will she stroll back to hotel with him?
Feel like a nightcap?
My money is on a nightcap!

I bet everybody will come to their own conclusion. I wonder if it’ll turn out to be men vs women? I always thanked my lucky stars that nobody ever came on to me now that I’m married… bucause I just don’y know! It’s easier now that the only thing I raise is a laugh!

Well done epic poem — so far. For the hapless (witless) female, this sounds like an excellent way to get yourself murdered. You could go on from here to write a whodunit.

Building a long-term relationship, yes, but not on an encounter with a complete stranger that’s going nowhere at best.

When I met my wife, she was a complete stranger 🤣 But, I think I will continue this tale tomorrow.

I think you thought my word of the day was “infidelity,” because that’s my guess on where this is headed.
