REACTION
Overdue a dressing-down
A thousand text messages
(At the very latest count)
Spit their angry words at him
While he stands at front of house
Pulsing with offensive charm
Receives thunderous applause
For serving Dish of the Day
In this jumped-up Soup Kitchen!
You could say I'm seeing red...
Interesting use of the words. I like dressing-down and spit their angry words.
ReplyDeleteBad service can make one hopping mad..as can bad customers...
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like he is doing a good deed volunteering at a Soup Kitchen...
ReplyDeleteAnother soup kitchen comes to the rescue! Nicely done
ReplyDeletenice wordle du jour.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing red, too, Stan! No wait, it's just my red sweater.
ReplyDeleteI guess my mind is wandering in prosaic channels today. I can't help but wonder what's being served as Dish of the Day!
ReplyDeleteWhirling Along
I like your "dressing-down/thousand" rhyme.

ReplyDeleteNicely done!
ReplyDelete'Jumped up soup kitchen' sounds like my house when they all arrive for a meal!! I liked the undercurrents in this poem! :) My First Whirl
ReplyDeleteOooh, "pulsing with offensive charm" is great, I think I dated that guy once years ago! Really an excellent Wordler you are, Stan. Peace, Amy
ReplyDeleteSounds like a politician at a photo shoot. You are always so economic with the words!
ReplyDeleteA fugitive, has escaped from the gourmet kitchen to a soup kitchen!! Valuable services rendered there I hope!!
ReplyDeleteI would expect you would see red... I would.
ReplyDeleteClever, Stan. I like how you used "soup".
