Caught

Does this happen to you? I think this should be in spoken form...I might change it later and add to...

 I am never 'caught'

With my pants around my ankles

It has never happened

I suck in my breath

It just does not happen

 

When I was little I would pinch my sister

Stick out my tongue at the back of my Father

Purposely back in bike into the rear of my Mother's car

Santa still came

 

In college I snuck out and back in after hours with my Senior boyfriend

I was never crucified

Prehaps that only happens to the perfect ones, no?

I still stayed a prim, good student

 

After bathtime in my marriage bedroom

I hurry to slip into the pretty nightie before 'He' sees me undone

I always succeed in getting dressed before his footsteps quieten on our carpeted floor

I am always ready

 

My life has always been a breath away

A blink from

A hair short

of being 'Caught'

 

Or has it?

Am I really nothing more than a legend in my own mind

Did my sister tell

Did my Father know

Did my mommy frown

Did the dorm mom wrinkle her nose as I snuck by

 

Did my husband just turn away uninterested and preoccupied anyway?

 

Prehaps life would not have been so bland if, by chance, I did get

'Caught'

Well written and enjoyable to read. Tony

I like this because usually when you're 'caught', it's supposed to be a bad thing, right? Well, you pose a great question at the end. Sometimes I lay in the bed naked, waiting for my woman to come in so I can get 'caught'....it's a lot of fun, believe me!!!!

Nice write!

Sometimes that is the thrill and sometimes not getting caught is. I like the way you take the reader into another direction at the end of all this. Perhaps you didn't get away with anything. Perhaps they did instead. A thought to consider. Good write.

Ahhhh - it's the thought of being caught that gives life the excitement though...

Well written, the flow, the imagery, everything.

Well done.
