Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Parking Lot Morons

Encountered some drivers
In a mall parking lot
Absolutely blew my li'l ole mind
Rude and obnoxious
Only way to describe 'em 
What's with this self absorbed kind

Seems so damn important
To always be first
Are there no more “courteous” drivers
Are they gone with hoop skirts
And Saddle Shoes
Happy to say I'm a survivor

It's much like a war zone
As they race for a space
What's happened, where's chivalry gone
People on crutches
Men stooped over
Fair game for this bunch of morons

I'll get off my soapbox
Attempt to mellow out
What I saw was beyond comprehension
If I used foul language
I'd be just like them
Must be living in different dimension

Poet Tacito September 3, 2013 at 10:54 AM I've met quite a few like this! Pain in my butt! This is why I park AWAY from the entrances to a mall or store. I can get a good walk while listening to the angry sheep spend time arguing over an inanimate object. Jack Ellison September 3, 2013 at 10:58 AM You got it... moi aussi! That's french... impressed? Your visits are always entertaining and appreciated ma friend!

Carol Eastman September 2, 2013 at 10:10 AM Talking about RUDE and OBNOXIOUS! I took a day to work on my art work for my first book 'Kitty Claus'. Unfortunately, tremors made me go to the computer for the front cover. I was a disaster! Never knew what I was doing, and couldn't do anything twice... Hubby had to bail me out a dozen times. He did all the work. He'll be my illustrator, and book developer. Unfortunately, Dragon got in a snit! He wants to be the first book. I told him I need to start small... He declared he's going on a diet! Jack Ellison September 2, 2013 at 11:14 AM Be sure to let us know how that is going and what success you have... big bunch of luck, my dear Miss Carol! Love, Jacko xoxox Carol Eastman September 2, 2013 at 10:12 AM Dragon is also threatening a hunger strike... Silly Dragon!

Eileen Manassian September 1, 2013 at 2:34 PM I know....why do they act so horribly bad, Kenny! Good for you for not stooping to their level! Take care, my dear! Jack Ellison September 2, 2013 at 5:10 AM As I said, what's happened to people! Incredulous what I witnessed! Still can't get over what I witnessed! DISGUSTING! Warm huggles dearest Eileen! xoxox

Russell Sivey September 1, 2013 at 6:21 AM I know what you mean, people are crazy when it come to those darn parking spots...they will do anything to get it before you get it yourself, so rude they are, and they are everywhere these incredibly rude drivers! I know what you mean by not wanting to be like them, to be kind in the midst of idiots like these drivers! Your poem is surely tremendous, a fantastic piece that I have read this morning! What a brilliant verse! Great Work!! Jack Ellison September 2, 2013 at 5:06 AM The ugly side of human behaviour! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
