Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
Providence has a strong arts and music scene and many of the MC posts reflect that. Today, Lovelorn Poets features a sampling of what you might find there.
Missed Connections in Providence, RI
Ukulele Girl
You were crossing the street
and I was in my car.
I noticed as you crossed the street
you had a ukulele sticking out of your bag,
I asked you if it was a ukulele
(since it was half out/in your backpack)
and you said yes.
Sadly the light turned green
and I just said “Awesome”
and kept going.
You were totally cute
and I like ukuleles.
I have a baritone ukulele,
yours had to be a soprano if it fit in that tiny backpack.
If I was a pedestrian at that moment,
I would have chatted for a bit but I don’t want to be the guy holding up traffic.

Her Two Cents on Ukukele Girl
This individual is quite the conscientious motor vehicle operator! Not wanting to hold up traffic in order to speak to a fellow ukulele enthusiast? Impressive. Rather unlike the Jersey Shore driver who was featured a few weeks back… While the DMV may approve, our traffic abiding citizen missed that window of opportunity to get a bit more information. Let’s hope these two reunite at the next meet-up of the Providence Ukulele Club (not sure if such a group exists but knowing Providence, it seems likely).
Gentle Readers: Our Providence poet opted to obey traffic laws rather than chat with the person who caught their attention. What would you have done in this situation? Would you have driven on? Mercilessly held up traffic? Maybe thrown the hazards on and hope for the best?
