Fancy Talkers

The nurse said not to worry,
It was just a little prick.
Then proceeded to inject something,
that exploded like a dynamite stick.

I asked my husband last evening,
"Does my bum look big in this?"
He sighed then smiled and then denied
I looked anything but pure bliss.

The mechanic checked my engine.
Said it was running fine.
Although I did my best, it failed the test,
and is no longer mine.

The interview went well.
They said I got the job.
Then passed me over for someone else.
All I could do was sob.

I wish these fancy talkers
would learn to tell the truth.
At least, that way, no dismay.
Although at the time may seem uncouth.

Just James Date: 6/12/2016 11:47:00 AM So true...well done Login to Reply Jean Murray Date: 6/12/2016 12:27:00 PM Thank you James. When my wee brother was ten, 30 years ago, he pronounced the first two lines of this poem. His words then were.."It was a million times worse than a little prick." I never forgot it.
