The Escapades Of 'Ole Scarlet
These are comical stories written about a Gal whom I have called Scarlet.
You may read them and ask "Are these real?" Well, they're stories.
Most woman wish they had escapades of some sort . . . don't they? :o)
Perhaps one will sound familiar? So, without further adieu, here they are.

K. C. , Scarlet and The Gin Joint
On an Autumn night she went to sing...
At the local "Gin Joint" called Anthony’s.
Many a time she’d been there before.
The weirdoes usually hung by the door.
Scarlet sat on a stool at the bar...
STUCK there again, as always...PAR!
Most of the time she stays quiet and smiles...
Not much chat about idle wiles.
The music plays on...
And she taps her toes...
Hoping the strange ones...
Will get up ...and GO!
On that Autumn night a few stools were bare...
"Such luck!" She thought.. "they’re out of my hair."
A gent sat down... "Oh, well." She yawned .
It was nice while it lasted...another bum?
She watched him subtly, wow....what a smile!
No "come-ons", no lines, then they chatted awhile.
There was something different...she pondered a bit.
He had brains, humor and amazing whit!!
What truly surprised her was his voice as he sung...
Listening to K.C. was a pleasure and fun!
He continued to sing...she could feel the heart...
For him, as for her, his song was an art!
This gent she honestly wanted to know...
But her head said "No point, he’s gonna go."
He’d told her he lived in a state far away...
And was leaving to go there in just a few days.
At his next question, she nearly fell on the floor...
HE said he wished to talk with her more!
"Dinner tomorrow night?" He asked...
What shocked her further was when SHE said "Yes!"
Scarlet wasn’t certain if he honestly meant it...
But call her, he did and the plans were cemented.
They had dinner and chatted, had laughter and song...
He took her home and then he was gone.
She went upstairs and sat on her bed...
So many thoughts danced in her head!
He said he’d write...she hoped he WOULD...
He’d left her something inside that was very good.
Time has passed and they’ve shared so much...
Giggles, psychology, feelings and such...
There’s a connection there they’ve tried to deny...
She doesn’t know how...he can’t see why.
Christmas time is quickly drawing near...
She sighs and now says "I wish he was here."
For deep inside...as she’s gotten to know him...
She cares for him and wrote this dumb poem.
Friends, they are , until this day...
He's back home and quite far away.
She has her life and he has His...
But the friendship they have is STILL special ! 'Tis !!

Scarlet & The Aerospace Man
(a modern story)
On a Winter's night as she sat down....
At her PC to play a game....
She sighed and thought "Oh well , why not?"
It's fun but becoming lame.
The Lady said "Hello, I’m from..."
And there he was on the screen..
He was from her home back East...
Was funny and very keen.
Why he picked her or why she picked him...
To chat with after the play...
Was a one in ten million chance...
Amazing? Fate? Some would surely say !
She was leaving to fly to a job the next day...
So excited was she, as she planned ...
Scarlet was smiling deep inside...
When she thought of the Aerospace Man.
As it would happen a call came through..
The trip was not yet to be...
Why did this happen? She didn't know why...
The purpose has yet to be seen.
Though she knew not his face....
Nor had felt his hug or a kiss...
A part of her felt rather sad..
For what she was going to miss.
"No Biggy" She chuckled and muttered...
There are things to do at hand...
But no matter how busy she kept herself...
In her mind was the Aerospace Man!!
They talk and they chat at different times...
He's busy and so is she....
And yet ...when he calls her and talks...
She forgets where she's supposed to be!.
"Why" ? She asks herself..."How strange !"...
But "self" has an answer and it says....
It feels like he's been here forever .
But really, just a matter of days.
Most gents don't usually "Get" to her....yet..
There's a feeling that can't be ignored...
He's witty, interesting , funny and smart..
And she finds she's never bored.
Another trip is in the wind...
HIS trip now , is being planned..
So the two can meet and share that hug...
Scarlet and the "Aerospace Man""
Time has passed and the two have met...
It's great to meet special people in life.
"But wouldn't you know it?" ,Scarlet says....
"I Think Aerospace Man has a wife!"
So Scarlet goes on and makes other friends,
She travels around the world...
Enjoys laughter and life each day....
' Til another story unfurls...:o)
