Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Mister Sophisticated

Let's see. It's our first date
  So let's talk about, uh, well
How about abortion? That'd be fun --
  You know, maybe debate it or something

No, huh?  O.K.  Well, Trump! That's it!
  Donald J. Trump. Do you like his
sense of humor?!  How about his taste
  in women, like, you know, 'Horseface?!'

Not your cup of tea, I see. Well, then
  Could we maybe discuss critical race 
theory?  After all, I'm white, and you're
  a half-breed, aren't you? -- What?!...

Gee. Whatever did I say wrong
  to get so resoundingly gonged?

Alexis Y. May 31, 2021 at 8:43 PM Lol! Gershon, Your title grabbed my attention. Mr. Sophisticated is a piece of work. He didn't read the “first date” 101 handbook! When I read the last two lines, I laughed out loud. I enjoyed the read. Have a great evening;-) Alexis Gershon Wolf June 1, 2021 at 8:00 PM I think 'Mr. Sophisticated' read 'Last Date Ever' handbook. lol. Thanks, Alexis! :) gw
