Notes About The Poem

See the source image

Hog Mouth

Hurtling toward me was a messy, slimy mass
Of masticated food from a diner with no class!
Glancing off my head (I ducked!), it landed on poor old
Mama, right smack dab in the face. It slid, then rolled
Onto her lap. The offender saw her mopping her face.
Unabashed, he refilled and, without a trace of grace,
Talked, with cavernous mouth wide open, disgusting us all.
Henceforth, Food Flinger, cease showing such egregious gall.

Hello Janice ... for some reason I screwed my nose up reading your verse, but it is the topic, not your verse - I hope you all got over this Janice - Lindsay

Reminds me of my first day in NYC; I stopped at a vendor cafe, sat down at a table and before I had one bite, a man sat down at my table and stuffed a slice of chocolate cake in this mouth which he continue to chew, slobber, and talk at the same time, so I left without having a bite to eat . . . .
