Written for RDP where Punam asks us to
get creative with the word “timid”.
Thanks, Punam! Here’s where the prompt took me.
Once you’ve suffered the pain of heartbreak or betrayal in a relationship, you typically learn a valuable lesson. You’re wary about trusting anyone and are doubly timid about allowing that type of duplicitous person into your life again. You don’t want to make the same bad choices.
This 1989 rockin’ glam metal number is an anthem of resilience and wariness in love. The narrator gets his heart broken when he learns that his sweetie is a party girl who makes the rounds with the guys in all the rock bands.
Happy Saturday, my friends!
This is “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” by Great White

Thanks Nancy. I still have a lot of pain in my left leg. I’m seeing the tissue viability team tomorrow, so I will see how things go from them.

There seems to be a team these days for every phase of our ailments. I suppose getting such specific care is a good thing. Good luck, Glyn; I hope everything goes well. 😌

Written and first recorded by Ian Hunter for his debut solo album, after Mott The Hoople days. A classic rock song 👍

Very nice, Nancy. In this song, a rock musician meets a girl when he is out on tour and becomes intimate with her. He thinks she is young and innocent until to his dismay he discovers she has been around quite a lot and been with a lot of other musicians.
