Suzanna Selfish

"Don't bother me with emails or calls."
Alas, she broke both legs in an unfortunate fall.

How she cried,like a martyr, being burnt at the stake.
She got her just deserts, as with others, she would not 
socially partake.

Her alligator tears splashing on the sanitized, marble, 
hospital shiny floor.
She deserved her loneliness and oh, so much more!




               Moral of this poem
" Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."

Dearest Tom, I know that so well, I know you, and people like Jan have heart, plus brilliance.!Plus you would never intimidate or belittle me. You both are far too well balanced to crush me or another poet to look like BIG MAN ON CAMPUS. Love conquers all. Forgiveness, too! Forgot to add hmor as a classification. This was a tongue in cheek poem for heavens sake. Hugs Pangie xx
