Ray Dillard Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

The incident made me mad. But, as you an guess, I'm feeling much better now.

To the Guy Who Keyed My Daughter's Car

I’ll bet you think you were unseen….
Invisible like a ghost.
Well, guess what?
You’re not as sneaky as you are stupid.
Were you really that mad about
Being beaten to a parking place?
A place she politely waited for and rightfully earned.
And, she had two little babies with her…
While YOU, a big strong guy, were by yourself.
I guess I could tell the whole world your name…
But, that won’t be necessary.
Don’t worry…
I won’t call the police.
Those who know will keep the secret well.
And,,,You’ll  NEVER need to worry about them.
They would never hurt you personally, that is.
They wouldn’t key YOUR car,
Put sugar in your gas tank,
Knock on your door at 3 AM
After toilet papering your house.
They won’t scatter Pramitol over your lawn and shrubs.
I made them promise not to hurt you in any way.
So, you’re safe,,, for now.
But, next  time… Remember…
I know who you are!
And, you don’t want to know me….

Andrea Dietrich June 17, 2014 at 3:18 PM VERY good one, but i was hoping it was a joke about not doing all that stuff. I wanted you to turn around after you said I would never key your car, TP your place , etc. ... NOT!!!! congrats, well deserved.

Arthur Vaso June 4, 2014 at 10:41 AM Hi there Ray, I really liked this one, this says a lot on so many levels, one of forgiveness, and kindness but also a way of saying, don't cross that line a second time. Great write!! Ray Dillard June 4, 2014 at 10:54 AM Thanks Arthur, I was really upset when it happened. But, I'm better now. I wrote it for a contest and found something gratifying and relaxing when I was done. My first real SLAM.
