REAR WINDOW:

Not to be confused with the film:
REAR WINDOW:
The rear window of my apartment
Is that of my bedroom no less.
Although the window is always open,
I keep the curtains drawn I confess.

That is until yesterday when the window
I did clean til they shone.
Thinking of the evening when I could relax,
Sitting down to watch television.

Well the evening arrived I showered
Then went to put my pyjamas on.
So I could relax as mentioned above
In readiness to watch television.

Just as I was about to put night attire on,
Totally naked as a jay bird
I noticed the curtains still open,
Aghast thinking "How Absurd .

 My window overlooks a housing complex,
People were looking in.
I hurriedly switched the light off,
Thinking "Ye Gods Yvonne You Can't Win".

 I then had a fit of the giggles.
No spring chicken am I.
What a sight the onlookers had,
As I swiftly waved them bye bye.

 Today my curtains are drawn,
That's the way they will stay.
I sincerely hope I don't meet those onlookers,
When I go shopping later in the day.

 ENJOY YOUR THURSDAY

    You gave them a show! What are you going to do - cry? Might as well laugh about it.

    I hope the neighbours didn't see too much before you closed the curtains; glad you could see the funny side of it though. I've always liked James Stewart and the film Rear Window is one I can watch over again :)

      I was stood there a while before I realised the curtains were open. Yes I too enjoyed the film Rear Window.
      Thanks for coming by.

    Hi Yvonne,

    Perhaps you might start a trend
    My friend
    Go shopping in your birthday suit
    Just wonder where you'd stash the loot.

    Glad you could see the funny side. Of course, I can pose nude in front of my windows, what with the planks and scaffolding blocking the view.

    Thank goodness you have such a wonderful sense of humor! I'm always closing the curtains in fear of what the neighbors might see, but sometimes the wind blows them open which is probably what happened to you. I'm sure you're in much better shape than you let on from all of your walking.

      Thank you Julie for your wonderful post.
      I don't get out so much as I used to but hope to remedy that in the future.

      Yvonne.

    I just have to smile at this. You entertained the people looking in your window better than a TV show. I bet they'll check their windows from now on to be sure the curtains are closed. You are precious and thanks for sharing your story.
