Worse Scenario Hannah
You are telling your story in the lunchroom, people are listening.
Then Loud Mouth WS Hannah comes breezing in, loudly.
That is nothing! She says, her big brown eyes glistening.
My story is so much worse! Wait until you hear it, she says proudly.
If a car ran over my foot, one chased her down and broke every bone in her body.
Your house has hail damage? Hers is under hot molten lava, an unexpected landslide.
That’s nothing she says to the new employee, named Mr. William P. Anthony Toddy.
She begins telling a tale of woe I can barely stand to listen to and nowhere to hide!
Many have given up talking, for she does her best to let no one else comment or talk.
She is on another crazed mission to let herself be the center, so I truly must walk.
What does WS mean? My daughter says as I complain about the queen of complaint.
“Worst Scenario,” I tell her, and this blow hard woman has no filter or restraint.
