The construction worker
let out a cheerful whistle
as the striking figure,
dressed in a vibrant shade of red,
strolled past.
Every man in the vicinity
turned to steal glances,
hoping for acknowledgment from her.
Finally, she came to a halt,
offering a radiant smile
she relished the attention
she had garnered.
With a teasing wave of her
wicked finger,
she left the onlookers
in silence as she disappeared from view.
