Edward Ibeh Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Well, That Was Awkward

"Congrats on your pregnancy, Suzie!," exclaimed Carl

"Umm, I'm not pregnant, Carl," replied Suzie

"Oh, I thought...bloated?" says Carl

*long, uncomfortable silence*

"Darn, I'm sorry, Suzie...wrong word! 
Long time no see! How ya livin', Queen!?"

*silence*

"You know I was messing with you, right?" says Carl

"You weren't, though," replied Suzie

"You're right, I'm so sorry. How've you been?
Can we just start over, Suzie? Am I forgiven? 
How's your hubby doing, by the way?"

"I'll forgive you for asking, 
if you'll forgive me for not answering," replies Suzie...

as she walks off.

Sandra Adams March 23, 2020 at 11:34 AM reminded me when I was pregnant and miscarried my baby (we are off due to a teacher strike so not many knew I lost the baby of the few who even knew I was pregnant) we had a meeting after coming back to work, and someone rubbed my belly and said so when are you do... no words... just tears... i get this one... ouch, good write Edward! hugs Edward Ibeh March 23, 2020 at 12:45 PM Thank you, Sandra. Wow, the rubbing on the belly part! I can't even begin to imagine how devastating and harrowing that experience was for you. I'm so sorry for your loss, my friend:-(

Kim Rodrigues March 23, 2020 at 9:42 AM LOL...boy did he muff that up! A simple sorry would have sufficed and a slither away... Edward Ibeh March 23, 2020 at 12:40 PM Yes, Kim, people not very socially skilled are likely to find themselves in this sort of situation, lol. Stay well and safe out there!
