I Know That Person

I know that person, my aunt said after she read my poem. I am related, she’s a cousin, she’s exactly like that! She is horrible, her ways are overbearing. She is arrogant. She is rude, despicable! I cannot believe how you captured her essence! I telephoned my mother the second she left my house. Remember how I was afraid to show Aunt Winnie that poem? I was shaking with anxiety for no reason. She did not recognize herself in the least.

The sad truth is that in too many cases "we, err....mean they are always the last to know

Oh my, this is hilarious! Absolutely one of the best poems you have ever written. Straight to my FAVES. I must read this one several times! I wish I had thought of this. But, I did write a book which featured one of my aunts. She died at 102, so now I could let family read the book, as they'd get a good laugh out of it.

They surely would. She might have too. No one ever seems to realize it is them.
