The Love Triangle: The Art of Dividing Attention

provencal 18th century painting

 

The flirting dog was giving his best song and stand routine.

It split her in two how her Boy Blue fell for the dog each time.

Her mother was right,

"Never date a boy who wears his shirt unbuttoned."

Without too much emotion, she glanced sideways and gave her best shot to seduce him by lifting her skirt a little higher.

He knew he didn't fool her with his downcast eyes he caressed the dog his mind wandered right up her dress.

Some things never change.

  1. Your words hang so charmingly on the painting. The bit of flirtation in such an old picture, ripe even today in its meaning.
    Button, button, who’s got the button? The children’s rhyme comes to mind with your post today – and yesterday’s remedy for those who can’t tie scarfs.
    Tada! You did it again with a fun post.

    “It split her into” such thoughts as she is split in two… so your blog can live up to its name.
    Laughing aloud by your prose almost to tears, as doggie noted the poor dear’s corset halved her waist to a Barbie doll.
