For an Audience of One
Mysteriously you loom there
In the shadows by the door
I’m unaware of your presence
My clothes scattered across the floor
The music is playing loudly
I’m in my underwear
I sing a little off key
As I dance without a care
I grab the brush from off the dresser
And I climb up on the bed
Now I have a stage and a microphone
And an undiscovered audience
I’m jamming out with my air-guitar
As I am leaping up and down
And as the song comes to conclusion
I’m awarded with applause
Shocked I look to the shadows
Near the entrance of my room
You are whistling and clapping
Like I was number one
Embarrassed for a moment
When I realize what you’ve seen
But I stand erect and take a bow
And enjoy my moment of glory

Surprise
Nell,
Isn't it funny how we seem to do our best work when we think nobody is watching let alone caring. Spontaneous and unsuspected applause must be a wonderful confidence builder. Rock on Sister.

Embarrassing...
Sometimes the funniest things that happen to me are when no one is watching. Then I always wonder why I have to be caught at certain times and not others. Usually I provoke laughter from onlookers, but the surprise of applause definitely is welcome from time to time.
Forever rockin' it in my skivvies!
