Stalking Men at My Age
By Josie
20 November 2006
Only a bit of fun.  Don't all plead for my release!



It was on a Sunday morning when I first spotted him.

He went running past in trainers, looking very slim.

Next day on Monday afternoon 'twas when we met again.
With an umbrella and a briefcase he was getting on the train.

Tuesday lunch-time he was there again in a trendy little bar,
But at  two o’clock  he quickly left and dashed off in his car.

Wednesday evening I went swimming, and  guess who there I saw? –
He said  “Well hello!   It’s you  again.  I think we’ve met before.”

Thursday morning I went shopping, and also  to the bank –
But at the local filling station, who was filling up his tank?

Friday morning in the library, he was standing in the queue.
When he saw me, as I entered, he said:  “This really can’t be true!”

On Saturday the Police arrived:  "You're coming to the nick.
Stalking men at your age?  Don’t you think it’s rather sick?”



It may be a long time until you get another poem!

Actually it sounds more to me like He was stalking YOU... ;) 
 
So keep one eye open 
and watch behind your back 
When strolling through the aisles 
and in between the racks 
 
For you never know who's watching 
from a distance, out of site 
Let's hope it's not intentional 
or he'll be locked in jail tonight

So very right! I loved your poems. It ought to be completed from the beginning and put on GW to follow mine! I'll watch out. Some men like older women.

This poem won't go unnoticed by T--------r - you bet! I meant "I loved your poem" wildworm - the one in your review, but I will now look at your other one too. I'll watch out for your posting about the stalker.

Did your mother never tell you not to stalk strange men? (Stick to the ones you know :) ) Very droll Josie :)

No, my mother didn't advise me at all about stalking men, strange or otherwise. ha ha (But when you come to look around - - - aren't there some very strange ones about?)

There will be many on this website who will be surprised that I still do it! ha ha Most think I'm past all of this. (But you're never too old). I'm sure they'll see my name and be drawn to the subject, hoping to learn my dark secrets.

Hehe very nice. I like the twist at the end. I would put a full stop at the end of the first sentence for an easier read- otherwise great :)
Shame on you, Josie!

So thats what you've been up to, you old she-devil! 
 
Like I said before, many a fine tune is played on an old fiddle. Just make sure he doesn't break your strings! 
 
Great fun stuff!

Yes, i was waiting for your review. I knew you'd quickly spot this poem written by this person. ha ha. Yes, you are quite right! Many a tune played on an old fiddle - and I'll rub a bit more oil on my strings!
Fantastic....

Josie... You CAN NOT... You CANNOT! YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!!  
 
Absolutlely super! 
 
Mind I can't even contemplate what the gossip will be at Ilkley Parish Church next week. Remember Trollope's matchless, hilarious exchange between the Archdeacon and his wife subsequent to the death of the Bishop's wife, Mrs Proudie.... 
 
' Archdeacon... You are uncommon levitatious this morning! Could it be you have heard of the death of a Christian woman? 
 
I am glad she is dead...... No..... No.... Wait! I am delighted!! .....I shall take every opportunity to speak ill of her.....! ' 
 
Funniest piece I have read for a while. My compliments to you! 
 
Slan!
