Five Seconds Into An Encounter

You have such
a sad and tired, old face sir ..
She said,
as she tried desperately
but failed
miserably, to catch
the strawberry ice cream
with her tongue
before it hit the kerb with
an almost silent
but not surprisingly sweet
sticky splat ..
Is that so, he replied slow
with his most
sincerest of well-practiced
false smiles ..
Although it was completely
wasted on
the seemingly precocious
five year old ..

Nicely done Nev and a wry smile (not a false one) crossed my face after reading.
And Nev, there is nobody out there in Poetryland and its endless book library through the ages, that this humble reader can find or indeed has read through the years, that comes close your style of writing and the way you think and perceive everyday things in life, that others dismiss away or perhaps are, alas, blind to-
Life's little nuances.
Now there's a title for a poem for you to write.
All good things to you my poetry brother :)
It has been quite some time since a bloke made me feel quite so chuffed .. Chuffed to bits in fact, so cheers Shaun & please note, I'm still smiling myself :)
Ha ha...just love it having a 6 year old around myself...😃😆x
