Fishing For Compliments

I asked my man which he preferred, my beauty or my way with words or was it my intelligence my sparkling wit or elegance? He said (whilst edging to the door) "I'm not sure which I like the more, but after some consideration your best trait is - imagination".

That's so cute. From the many posts that you've written I wonder just how much of it is tongue and cheek, I'm sure that you were a fun couple to be around.

Oh my tongue is so far in my cheek that there's practically a hole in it!

Thanks for the smile. I asked my guy something similar I had him tied. He was my prisoner ‘Do you like my poetry? My prose?’ ‘Not at all but you have a nice nose’. Best I could come up with at short notice! lol Lovely flowers as always

I thought being a man he would say neither and it would be something physical he preferred . But this was written by a woman not a man so it’s more sweet.

It is true. Without imagination, humans will not develop and are like animals.

Oh yes, we all need imagination, even if all it does is invent non-existent attributes
