Weekend Writing Prompt — You’re So Vain You Probably Think This Post Is About You

I see you through the window
Walking around the garden
Like you own the place
I open the front door
And watch you slowly saunter
Up the front steps
You smile and wink at me
You’re so full of yourself
You turn my stomach
I can’t stand the sight of you

(Exactly 51 words)


Written for Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the word is “saunter.”

    Seems to me, allowing the actions of others to consume one’s focus, is a waste of the viewer’s time. 😉

    And yet there they are on the front step, door open. Where do they go from here?
    Oh… are they married?

    Of course it’s about me. I call it confidence. May I borrow a mirror? Nicely done.

    A saunter can be so annoying can’t it? Love that Carly Simon song – a great observer of people.
