Not All Pigs Oink

He sat in front of the TV
while eating a large plain pizza
washing each bite down with iced tea.
The sight made me laugh… Ha-ha!
reddish oil dripping onto
his already grimy t-shirt.
What a slob! (If he only knew)
To call him that would only hurt
his feelings. I couldn’t say that
to him as much as I’d like to
so I struggled through the chit chat
when he asked, what’s so funny, dude?
Funny? Umm! Oh Nothing, I lied
Please! Don’t mind me. Finish your pie.

What a humorous poem this is. I guess we've all got a pig dwelling within us... *rolls eyes* Infact, I let my pig out today, had a burger for dinner. Ha ha. Thanks for sharing your colorful poetry dear Albert... Your friend in poetry, Maya K :)
