Trudy Schrader Poet Rhyme

Dismissing Dandy

Walking along the way
Dandy spotted an old friend
Ignorant enough to believe
Relationships never end
    He said, "Hi!"

Sally and her husband diverted
Trying to quickly move along
But Dandy followed, in concern
Sensing something had gone wrong

Just as they thought they were clear
A tap on Sally's shoulder brought great fear
.....in one dreadful moment

Face to face with Dandy, they were
Not moving out of the interaction
Like continuing to eat
In spite of bowel impaction

Then, he spoke...

"I didn't know if you heard me
I just had to come say hello
I'm delivered, healed, and whole
Just wanted to let you know
....the new me"

"Truly, Dandy, we are in such a hurry
So many commitments, gotta go"
Quickly, they entered into a sprint
Followed by a "Good to see ya...though."

Dandy's heart was crushed
By stampeding elephants...going nowhere
No matter how much better one is
The pretentious will not be moved to care

...about Dandy.

Note: Ugh! So incredibly frustrated, and this is the first poem. I'm sure there will be two more before I get the the core of the problem.
