A matter of general interest!

By Stanley Collymore

We can’t keep on meeting like this you know, otherwise we’ll

have people chatting about us for sure. Three times this

very week we’ve unexpectedly bumped into each

other as we respectively made our way, as

it happened, to catch the same bus.

Only coincidence of course! But I’ve lived in these parts

for many years and apart from being absolutely sure

that I’ve never met or even seen you before now

suddenly, and do pardon the exaggeration as

it’s manifestly my own personal opinion,

we evidently appear destined to keep

running into one another and most

luckily so, over and over again!

So to circumvent this current impasse of

us not knowing specifically who we

are, and also from my interested

observation us, with any luck,

being not solely chance strangers

but equivalently, at least, great

friends, can we accordingly

galvanize that custom by

us exchanging names?

Author’s Remarks:

Chat-up lines can be and invariably are crass, pompous and nonsensical egotistical statements that anyone with a grain of common-sense will quickly and easily detect is the case.

So the most effective way to achieve your personal ambition in this regard is to make yours honest, uncomplicated and very much to the point.

Season’s greetings everyone and a Happy New Year in 2020.
