Notes About The Poem

Don't it just burn your bacon when someone thinks they know more about YOU and what YOU are thinking than YOU KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF.

And there is nothing you can say or do to convince them they are wrong.
 

Thanks For the Info

I thought I had the inside track,
I really thought I knew,
What goes on inside my head,
But I didn't have a clue.

I'm so glad you told me;
So glad you set me straight.
Without you to tell me,
What would be my fate.

The pettiness and jealousy,
I didn't know I feel,
Was very plain to your keen eye,
You know what's there for real.

Folks like you are rare, it's true.
You read folks like a book;
And then you read between the lines.
You know what really cooks.

I thought I was feelin' fine,
But you could see my misery.
If it weren't for folks like you,
Why war would just be history.

Carolyn Devonshire February 7, 2017 at 12:54 PM Judy, you have an amazing way of building a poem with a delightful touch of witty sarcasm and then just clobbering us on the head at the end. Ist's a rare quality and one I admire greatly! Hugs, Carolyn Judy Ball February 7, 2017 at 5:21 PM Thanks so much Carolyn. Glad you got a giggle from it. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB
