Stupid Questions

It never seems to amaze me
How stupid some people are
Whenever I am out
And take along my guitar.

''Is it a guitar'' people say
''No an ironing board''
I reply with dismay.

''Can you play it?''
''No I just carry it about for fun''
Even though it's a heavy one.

''Are they your dogs''
When out in town
''No'' I reply
''their someone else's
And I'm taking them back to get the ransomed money honey.''
After a while i's an annoyance and not that funny.

You may not find those people who annoy you funny, but this poet surely is. I laughed the whole way through. Your replies to them are hilarious. Since you play guitar, you may want to think about turning it into a song, "Ransom Money, Honey." Sorry I haven't read you before now...my loss, but I'm not losing this one.. into my favs and a 7 for humor.

Geeze, even your reply made me laugh. What's that saying? "There's no accounting for stupidity," but maybe they should be held accountable...lol I overheard someone asking a uniformed waitress, "Can you take my order?" She smiled and held out her pad and pencil to him..."No, but why don't you take mine." He at least had a sense of humor and apologized.

Thank you so much Lin. Im flattered you enjoy my work. People can be so stupid. I was filming aircraft at an airport taking off, suddenly A voice behind me said,'is that a camera'', 'No a banana''. ''Are you filming'' grrrrrrrrrr. I used to advertise for antique telephones, and had people ring up and ask if I wanted to buy an ice box and some ladders. take care, best wishes. Pete.

Hi Skat. so good to hear from you. hope you are well.. thank you so much. I once advertised for antique telephones, and people asked me if I wanted to buy, some ladders, an icebox. I may not have many brain cells myself, but at least I can count them. take care. Pete.
