Sometimes, just sometimes, I forget that I am a compassionate and caring gentleman. This afternoon was just such an occasion.
Would it be awful if I were to say
I cannot be bothered to see you today
I really don’t care that your leg has dropped off
And couldn’t care less you’ve developed a cough
You breed just like rabbits, producing more louts
Your lifestyle’s renowned by all hereabouts
You’re on your seventh partner in only four years
I can only surmise it’ll all end in tears
Please don’t come to me to try to explain
I really don’t wish to hear you complain
It’s hardly surprising the neighbours all glare
Please don’t come to me, I really don’t care!
Having a bad day Peter? But of course, we all do, and some people bring out our – er – less caring side more quickly than others….

I’m having a good day really, as most of my days are. Just someone who has exhausted my empathy and sympathy!

The thought ‘Go tell it to someone who cares’ has flitted in and out of my head on a couple of occasions this week and that is most unlike me. Fortunately, it never made it as far as my mouth!

Reminds me of our neighbor across the street. He said that if his dog misbehaves, he’ll just run it over with his car and get another dog. We haven’t seen a dog at his place for some time. I hope that his wife doesn’t go missing! 🙂

As an optimist I see his dog eating him, but as a humanist I never said that!

You maintained the meter and rhyme well in this rapid poem.

Thank you Frank. I try not to edit these but present it just as it comes. I did change the first word of line 9 from Just to Please. Looking back at it I find I repeat Please on the last line. C’est la vie!

I’m not sure I’m clear on exactly how you feel Peter.

Brilliant. I think you might have your own line of anti-greeting cards here. I’d definitely like to have a few handy to hand out.
