PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

he's such a darling bore isn't he

one of them said to me at a party

I attended most recently

the so called gentleman in question I must admit

had the charm of a tree

all leaves and dry, brittle bark

he was about as dimwitted as he was dark

but those lax attributes were given to him by the

powers that be

who is to say though that he hadn't any others

better yet, I told my newest unwanted friend

perhaps he has some more appealing brothers

like one just might be a doctor who couldn't be here

because the hospital had him on call

and maybe the other worked 8-10 day weeks to get

himself a six figure salary on the right side of the

law

I mean one can never tell when one comes to one of

these savvy social mixes

well, for example look at you dear Ruthie-Leigh

one would never know by first glance that you're

a lowly maid for the local chain of Motel Sixes.....
