I was expecting an important package,
to be delivered by messenger to my home.
In order for me to check it for damage...
I wanted to take it at the door, ……so I dared not roam.
But the messenger was not due to arrive....
for another hour; it was not quite then five.
I'd been sweating, and smelled not like a flower,
so I decided to take the time it'd take to shower.
The water flowed warmly o'er my mighty frame.
My bodybuilding efforts had brought to me some fame.
I was NOT done before the doorbell rang, .....to my surprise.
So I opened up the door stark-naked, with ….shampoo in my eyes.
It would not have been so bad if she'd been old and gray,
if she had been a HE, or if I'd remembered my towel. Hey!
But she was a SHE, and one of the cutest I'd seen in my life.
Unfortunately, I guess, for me, the 'messenger' was my neighbor's wife.

I personally think you were a postman for too long my friend! Ha! Your version is cute but my version is definitely sexier. Maybe that is because I lift weights? : -)
this poem is beautiful and interesting; I enjoyed reading it; it is like a short story.
.........if this poem was a movie....it would be a blockbuster....and truly, worthy of an Oscar....loved reading every line in this entertaining piece....
In her embarrassment, did she take to heels forgetting to hand over the parcel? ? Imagine the fun of you then chasing her! !
