Don’t get to know me.
Let’s just smile across the room.
It’s safer this way.

The poem is sweet and funny, but with the photo it’s kind of creepy. Did you ever watch “Buffy?” It kind of makes me think of that–some demon girl visiting at party. 🙂

Thanks so much, Merril! Yes, this poem can be interpreted in many silly and creepy ways. No, I haven’t watched “Buffy” and will check it out. 😘

It might not be your thing. I just thought of Buffy and her friends encountering various demons in their high school and college. 😉

Oh, is that what’s it about? If I had a nickel for every time I encountered a demon, I’d already have my own hell. Oh, wait… I already do. 👹😀🔥

It always starts with a smile
the thing of it is not to
Smile back
Some of us can sense
danger
Trust your gut
Stay away from the…….
And you who doesn’t
Get involved
Its better still

Or shall I say dry
And straight up”

A chaser and beer
