It had been such a long boring day, and I was really looking forward to getting home and just sitting back enjoying a cigarette and a whisky. As I was about to leave the office the boss called to me and asked me a couple of questions about a contract we were drawing up. I wanted to tell him I was about to miss my train if I didn't get moving now, but eh, he's the boss, so I just let him ramble on. Eventually he finished and I was allowed to be on my way.
Of course I missed the train, and now had a ninety minutes wait ahead of me. I resigned myself to the situation and prepared myself for the long wait. Sitting there on the lonely platform I started to reflect on my life.
Here I was, fifty two years old, with a wife and two fine children. Joe Average, that's me. I have a good job, and a fine home and good friends, but just where has my life led me? Have I really lived?
Take my new secretary for example. She's twenty years old, beautiful, and she lives her life so free, and she sure get's through to me. But today it is a new world from in my time. It's strange how the world's accepting now, what they once did not allow Someone sure played a trick by sending her to me. She drives me crazy!
She comes into the office. She wears a sweater and a skirt, somewhere deep inside of me something starts to hurt. She really drives me crazy. She wears so little, and I can see what there's to see. She looks around my office door and says; " You wanted me?." How do I reply to that?.
Now I have been a good man, and I've played life by the rules. I've been a good husband and father, but after twenty years of marriage, the fire's don't burn too hot.
But for the first time in my life, I'm about to become a sinner. For tomorrow night, I'm taking that little girl .............out to dinner...............

Does that mean it was the end of the story? (though I could see that it was the beginning of a new story (kidding) :))
Anyway, the moral is -- sometimes even moral seems like a burden. _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |
