Notes About The Poem

 

Old fools return, the same methods, yet now everyone sees, never will the sloth climb to the top of the tree. Nor you Didi

Pizza Delivery

His first delivery
The Retired Ladies Knitting Club
he knocked on the door
when opened they were all laughing
hysterically
he smiles but was curious
what's so funny?
they all said "ssshhhhhhhhh"

The second deliver
 to the Painters Watercolor club
he was now amused
they too all laughing hysterically
he asked what's so funny?
they replied "sshhhhhhhhhh"

Next delivery
to the Gardeners Association
he walked in to a mob laughing
he was ok, what's so funny?
they all replied in unison
"sssshhhhhhhhhhh"


Now off to the Weekly Book Club Group
he was suspicious at this point
and yes, they too, all laughing uncontrolably
he couldn't resist
what's so funny?
the replies "shhhhhhhhhhhh"

The last deliver to a funeral home
at least they would not be laughing
to his surprise their laughter the loudest
he asked again, "what's so funny?"
reply the same, "shhhhhhhhhhhhh"

His shift over
he was mystified
at the laughter
but I guess
Silence was the answer

ssshhhhhhh LOL
