Faux Pas (10/36)
Vonnets in an Airport Lounge
A decade crisis: energy deprived!
How could our generation be ready?
Without foreign oil how would we survive?
For a young guy it was all quite heady.
Half-continent away my new career.
Returned for home visit. Not long did I stay
as a guys’ skiing trip was that week’s veer.
Yep, another dating faux pas replay.
Forgot her birthday. She typed curt letter.
Even worse, she typed out her signature!
Crap. Message received, “We are no better.”
A shot across bow. I mucked up for sure.
Yet, alas, did I change my behavior?
Being clueless male did me no favor.
