I THINK I LOVE YOU

I THINK I LOVE YOU A Story by Eagle Cruagh

just a little observation of the human condition

According to my Sainted Father," an Irishman

will never say something in a few words when

a hundred will do just as well".

 

I love you.   What ?  You some kind of a pervert ?

I just met you!

 

Geeeezzzz !  Everybody is saying , love one another.

Love is all that is important and a thousand other reasons

for loving everything from the lamp post to the local hooker.

Soon as I say it somebody wants to take a club to me.

 

I think I have figured it out.  Say I love you to all God`s

creatures, but never say it to an eligible young lady.

That is where I get in trouble.

 

Then I sat on a bar stool and to nobody in particular

noted that the hour was not about to turn to where it had

been before it became the topic of my observation.

If in fact it was an hour and not really sixty minutes, but

how many seconds is that and where are those seconds

this very minute ?    Geeeezzzz !  Once again all the patrons

seemed to have business at the other end of the bar.

 

Just in case you wanted to know how things are down

the street.

yes... you are quite the thinker. too many words and not enough actions in the world. I try to say less and do more. but poetry- that is a different animal all together. we are not promising, we are not expecting, we are just explaining or maybe seeing and reporting back.... get it?

This reminds me of a very random conversation with a drunk Irishman on a plane one time. I like.

This is a drunken rambling, a perfect one at that. You have earned new fan. I laughed gleefully at this one.

Favorited.
