Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Luck 'O the Irish - a Pet Hate

Ah!  Here I am then all snug in my seat.
I've plenty of popcorn and candies to eat.
The previews appeared without any glitch,
And I'm loving it here in my own little niche.
If I want, I can use the seat I'm behind
To put up my feet.  There's no one to mind,
For finding the one empty seat was my goal,
And I'm sitting behind it.  Most others are full.

Oh, no!  What is this?  Some guy just walked in
Right when the movie is just to begin.
No, not toward the back!!  Stay in the middle.
Dang it!  He's here, and his head is not little.
Smack dab in front of me; wish I could yell.
My peaceful retreat has just turned to hell
For, or course, he is half a foot taller than I.
That's luck o' me ancestors Irish. Fie!

Bl Devnath February 23, 2014 at 10:26 AM A river flows to sea or to ocean but certainly starts from high hill or mountain. What are flown in that water, certainly current carries them. So, luck in many ways depends on ancestors.Nice philosophy, lovely done my lovely friend. Loved always, bl

Richard D Seal February 22, 2014 at 6:14 PM Hahaha Tis so true Petal. I was at a Drifters concert a few years ago and the guy in front was slumping right back in his seat, with one over back, his head leaning right over like he was looking at the ceiling, to make it worse he had long hair that was dangling on my knees. I asked nicely twice, before we had this big bust up in the middle of the theatre lol. Ignorance, that's another thing that annoys me haha. Long, long time since I've seen fie. Take care, Richard

Shadow Hamilton February 22, 2014 at 6:13 AM very funny clever and enthralling pen Andrea as a shortie I know exactly what you mean you shift and crane he moves so back to trying to peer over or around him grr lol super write hugs

Darren Watson February 22, 2014 at 6:05 AM Ah to be sure tis a grand wee ditty yerv put there so it is me bonnie Colleen. but if all yer ancestors were Irish an we're all leprechauns tis a mighty tiny wee thing yer must be. A couple o pints o the black stuff should put yer right.

Vincent Flannery February 21, 2014 at 4:07 PM Awesome write Andrea, know the feeling. Really enjoyed this one. I thought us Irish were supposed to be lucky, though I'm not and haven't found any pots of gold either.
