A NEW ROMANCE

She powders her nose
She combs her hair
She walks on by
You stop and stare. 

She’s pretty, she’s cute
The perfect physique
You’re gawking, you’re staring
Like some kind of freak. 

Somewhat unaware
She didn’t see you
How can you meet her?
What can you do?

She owns a boutique
Sells clothes and shoes
Hats and jewelry
Nothing for you.

A jealous husband
Six foot two?
Might get upset
What would you do?

But, just make a point
Of looking around
Tell her you moved
You just moved to town. 

Check out her finger
She could be engaged
Could have a boyfriend
Who might get enraged.

Good news ….there’s no ring
You’re free to pursue
Ask her to lunch
Or to dinner with you. 

If she says… yes
Then you have a chance
Could be the beginning
Of a new found romance.
