My Tsunami Girl.

She came in waves, and

Like a tsunami, hitting shore,

The devastation was the same.

 

I was bowled over,

Hit by a force I’d never

Felt before. My brain froze.

 

I was drowning in her wake,

Head spinning, I fought for breath,

“Hello” was all I could say.

 

Bang! It hit me again,

Her smile made my eyes sting

And my cheeks burn.

 

She spoke. I shook with fear.

Dirty Harry had his Magnum .44

Hard against my temple.

 

“Hi, what can I get you?”

My mouth dried and my tongue

Began to blow up like a balloon.

 

“Saveloy and chips please.”

A well summed up piece Jolono.

Oh! Those embarrassing moments when we see someone we're attracted to and are lost for words.

very funny Jolono  - I was expecting something completely different when I saw the title!

Hi Insert. It was going to be completely different but just kind of morphed into this...

My tongue used to grow to epic proportions over a local bar man. By the time I got to ordering, the voice was a distant pipsqueak.

What really tickles me about this, Jolono is that last line. All that adrenalin for a bloody Saveloy. You lead your readers astray shamelessly and that simple chipshop order made me identify with all the above in a heartbeat.
