Who Were We Kidding

(Girls on holiday)

all those holidays ago

when we hired a convertible

to get us round the island

red it was, red for danger

strangers were we to etiquette

on foreign roads

so when we approached

crossroads our ignorance showed

splendidly in primary colour

as the local men tooted

and honked horns noisily

we just tooted back tenfold

not realising it was their way

of saying, we got here first

deploy your brakes don't be dumb

The last part cracked me up haha. These little little silly yet funny incidents are like treasure to enjoy life. It feels like I visualized a hilarious movie scene while reading the piece. I can predict the later part where the girls are looking at each other and laughing at the situation.

Hot car full of cheerful girls.
A young man's sweetest fantasy!
If only they would swing around...

Love your response Jimmy. A snapshot in time. Many moons ago. Still brings a smile to my face. Great friends. Thank you.

Ah, those heady days of freedom... Sigh.
The guys engines roar, as the girls inspire Thelma and Louise, yet as they pass you, all that can be heard is orchestrated giggles that leave their perfume in the wind.
I never did catch up to any of them. I had a knack of making them choose accelerator over breaks, every time 😀

this must have been a carload of loosey-goosey young females with nothing but fun in mind
an attractive carful of trouble

A car load of young women having a fab two weeks in Malta. I might add, no knicker elastic was damaged and we did keep out of trouble Dave :)) Thank you for the read.

we think we know it all when we're young :) i love that bit about the tooting horns
if i could go back for a bit though, i would gladly relive some of my young and dumb moments!
thanks for this chris! makes me smile!

[Chris Shaw]

We literally thought they were tooting at us to say hello :)) so we tooted back even louder. Took a few days to sink in, that they were just warning us they had right of way. How dumb we were, but so funny :) Thanks Ana.
