Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

A Gift For Thee Hater

For your penny's worth of thought,
Please take two cents worth back.
For the destruction that you brought
With all that empathy you lack,
For your narrow vision tunnel
That's dug deeper than your tact,
We gift to thee a shovel
So your barbs you may retract.

Composed for Brenda Chiri's

Silent One November 12, 2017 at 8:47 AM Sad world Maureen when some seem to enjoy hating.. the worst are those who point fingers, but don;t see what is going on in their own kitchen.. You are right so many lack empathy.. You did this so well.. Good luck in the contest.. Silent One November 12, 2017 at 9:31 AM I have heard.. shame some dont realise.. Ive spoken to Robert... he is fine and ignoring the issues.. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart November 12, 2017 at 9:17 AM Have you heard this one: when you point a finger at me there's three pointing back at you. I don't know what has been going down on this site but I hope Robert and others affected are warmed by the response to this contest. Thank you, and thank Brenda too for hosting. xomo
