A Brief Encounter

 Thursday at the laundry,not the least interested in the book I brought

started to people watch, glimpses of the activity of others there

a pleasant site my eyes  see a Rubeneques cutie' about twenty two

my immediate attention she drew, as she went about her laundry duty

time passed more smoothly as I watched this full figured beauty

when the rinse cycle finished and a dryer was vacated for me

by my newly sited collage age ample young lady in pajamas

I transfered my damp medium load in to the still warm chamber

with a push of the cart that carried my routine burden around

I looked down to see I had  revealed a  plus sized modest pantie

that no doubt belonged to you know who,this was a delicate matter

how to approach her without creating embarrassment for her or me?

when the verdict was reached by the voice that makes decisions

she had already folded/crammed her cloths in a hamper/basket

the sneaky approach was removed from the table defiantly

I moved with expectations of an awkward moment to remember

"Um ... err... a ... " tucked the apparel in y hand as I walked to her

deep breath along her side a discrete whisper to her ear

"excuse me you may have dropped something,young lady"

"are you sure?"she returned then looked around for the item

said item warmed my hand as we spoke in brief exchange

I  whispered again said "I  found them by the dryer you used"

that is when my gentlemen insight finally kicked in for me

"... you are the only person here woman enough to wear these."

she reached for my hand and I placed them in her palm folded

she started to blush but it turned to a remarkable grin/smile/wink

"thanks you just made me feel better,how often do you come here?"

Nice...

Not very often you see anyone using Rubens in a poem about modern day women. Very humorous and uplifting as well. Great write.
