That Wasn'T Nice

I'm a half-century's old big girl 
a big, fat mature, grown-up girl 
in many shy quite, quiet ways 
a prolific foot traveler by way of tennis shoes 
and hot and cold determination 
but on this day of our Lord's 
may seventh Twenty Seventeen
leaving your long gated 
very public city vehicle
I presided to say 
Thank you with a very 
well intentioned verbal faze 
but contemptuous words
re-spouted back to me  
as to mock some kind of warning to me
as if I haven't received many already 
why, give me more grief and distress
when i am so poverty-stricken without
harmony of mutual justice
and your pockets are full with 
phlegmatic abuses
worry no more 
for no one perceives' me 
and I am of no importance    
due to paramount's of low social ranking
