A little off-the-cuff rhyme for today:
I slap your hand
Get outta my face
Do not invade
My personal space
‼
Coming back
Breath on my ear
Smelling foul
Get outta here
‼
Bleary-eyed
Starting to sway
Drunken slob
Just go away
‼
Passed out now
And kept at bay
My personal space
Is safe for today.
Don’t you just hate when that happens?

Debbie,
I don’t anyone crowding my personal space, drunk or not. That being said, I don’t recall being around too many people who were wasted. The few encounters have more or less been in passing but those individuals weren’t completely wiped out. I suppose, it’s a big help not being in the bar or party scene. Chocolate makes me giddy, not the same kind of giddy but it’s the kind of giddy that I like. 😀
Definitely do not like drunkards. Or stoned for that matter. Or however it is said in English nowadays.
Disgusting when a person is no longer in control of himself.
Hi Debbie – yes I hate it when people invade my space … I just need a little air, or no hands … and your poem is so true … take care and enjoy the Autumn air. Cheers Hilary
Recognize that for sure. Glad to be free. Was once at a cocktail party for work and literally ran away from it. So many of the ‘directors’ were drunk and OMG handsy. Had to go! Hate drunks!
Another great poem. Love it! A girl after my own heart!
Hi Debbie!
Glad I found your site again. Kept getting detoured. I love what you’ve done with the place; the changes you’ve made 😉 And your poem is terrific!
That’s good, Debbie. I do not like a drunk.
Love,
Janie
I just spent a weekend where I wasn’t near anyone (not even my wife). It was rather relaxing.

Tossing It Out
Great poem and so true! When I was actually seeing clients, this would happen every day. Add that they would scratch their balls, smell like food they ate or worse, bagman smell, or show me their operation scar and we have even more gross stuff.
Personal space is most important and I don’t like it being invaded either. Have a great week ahead, Debbie.
I don’t like my personal space being invaded either. When it’s a drunk invading it it’s even worse. Yuk.
Have a fabulous day and week, Debbie. ♥
Yes, drunks can be persistent! 😀 Thanks for reading my poem, Sandee.
personal space is something precious that I crave at the moment. Well put. 🙂 It resonates with me.
I think most of us crave our personal space. Depends of course, who it is lurking nearby. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by, Cecilia.
I do…I hate it when some invades my personal space..Some people need to be told to back off
Me too! 🙂 Thanks for visiting and sorry for the late response.
LOL, love it! Reminds me of many a ride on public transit.
Yes; lots of “lovely” scents on public transit from people standing too close. 🙂 Thanks for visiting, Laurel. Sorry for the late response.
loved the no nonsense attitude in your poem 😀 brilliant.
Haha! No nonsense, for sure! 😀 Glad you enjoyed the poem and thanks for visiting.
LOL, oh yes – don’t like people crawling into that space that I don’t know well and they smell bad:) Great creativity Deb!
Hi Lisa; Glad you enjoyed the poem. Space invaders are so annoying. LOL Thanks for visiting. 🙂
Hi Debbie,
As always, you come up with such lovely poems and of course posts too! This one is apt where our personal space is concerned – and the image too- saying that no one can invade it, and the power to stop them too, lies in our hands.
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend 🙂
Glad you enjoyed the poem, Harleena. 🙂 Yes, these space invaders are annoying, aren’t they? Thanks for visiting and have a good week.
I so admire your creative ability to put in rhyme what we all hate and then make us laugh and snort. How I would like to smack people that can’t stand in line without invading your space by bruising your heel with their cart.
Ah yes, the cart hitting heel is familiar – especially at Costco! 😛 Glad you enjoyed my little poem, Neva. Thanks for visiting.
Ooohhh you are getting WAY too clever with your rhyming ditties. I can see you doing this rap-style with your dogs in the background doing doggy-style doo wap. ( but don’t hurt yourself with those rap gyrations). LOL LOL. So clever! Give us more ( in your OWN space, of course). 🙂
HI Sammy 😀 Love the mental picture you just conjured up with the Doo Wop doggies. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
Amen. I like my little space bubble. Enter it without permission and I might bite you. 😉
Hahaha! You bite, I slap, Becca. 😀 Nice to see you! Have a good weekend.
Love the poem Debbie! Yes, I hate when people invade my space. I can’t believe some people have no regard for this. 🙂
Same here, Corina. Even worse are those ones that are always touching your arm, etc. 😛 Glad you enjoyed the poem, Just a little bit of amusement. 🙂
Note to Self : Always endeavor to stay on Debbie’s good side… 🙂
😀 Good plan, Myke! I do like my personal space. Those “close talker” or “touchy/feely” types really bother me. Thanks for dropping by.
I’m outta here. No way I’m coming anywhere near — uh uh. Nada
😀 This was just for amusement, but I seriously don’t like it when people stand too close, or even worse, when they’re all “touchy/feely”. Loved ones excepted, that is.
GREAT rhyme! I don’t date men like that anymore. Thank God!!!
Good thing, Michele! 😀 LOL Thanks for dropping by.
Oh dear! I can’t stand anyone getting so close! Loved the rhyme, Debbie!
Neither can I Corinne! 🙂 Even worse when they’re inebriated. LOL Glad you enjoyed this little bit of amusement. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend.
