A response to Keith’s Rambling’s response The Letter for Sadje’s What Do You See? photo prompt #177, March 13, 2023

Dear Keith,

You do not know me and I realize it’s odd to write a “love-letter” at our age but – oh, this is not a love letter at all! I mean, what I’d like to say is I like you, very much. If you do not like me, that’s ok. Well, of course you do not like me, you’ve never met me so there is that. Should you like to get the chance to like me, not that you have to of course. Like me that is. What I mean to say is, maybe we could meet at McDonald’s sometime and I could give you a shake?

That didn’t quite come out right. What I mean to say is, I’d like to buy you a milkshake if you’d like? I realize you may be lactose intolerant, so many our age are. Not that I’m intimating that you are aged of course or that I am, although if you hope to meet a younger woman at McDonald’s of course that is your choice, it’s just that it wouldn’t be me. So if I see you at McDonald’s with a younger woman I will understand but, would still love to buy you a milkshake, or cola or even a diet soda in case you are diabetic.

I do hope you will reconsider the younger woman and meet me for dinner at your local McDonald’s next Friday evening? I apologize for the delay, but I do have to obtain a passport and then book a flight across the big pond to get to you, so I hope with the time changes and jet lag, that I can get there before they close. By the way, do you prefer a chocolate, vanilla or strawberry milkshake?

P.S. As I’m quite a distance from you, I have asked Sadje to slip my little not-a-love-letter note beneath your door. Cheers!!
