Triassic Period

[Delta40]

So there are periods
when I can't take it,
can't handle the demands
of screeching Asian women
going ballistic and shouting
You no help at all!
My shell casing cracks under
the pressure and falls to bits
at my feet.
I'm a wilting dinosaur from the Mesozoic Era.
Don't we all fight the good fight?
Some rounds are just too intense
and I'll never make the distance to the final bell.
So I crumple in a heap and lie there
among imaginary Stangeria trees,
wishing I was woody and tough,
firmly rooted in the landscape
till the voice in my headset shrills,
I speak to your Manager now!
I discover even dying dinosaurs
whose terrifying potency has all but leaked out,
rise and stomp their feet to protect their nest.

I often lose a battle or two. I'm a Pterosaur who would like to beat a Stealth and can't even stand a round with a sparrow. It's intolerable sometimes. Especially when I spitshine my feathers and it doesn't do any good.

[Delta40]

lol. You're that generation that spells 'lose' as 'loose!'

[cafolini]

lol. You're that generation that spells 'lose' as 'loose!'

Pretty loosely. I corrected.

[Delta40]

I don't know why but the incorrect use of loose really bugs me...

and lay should be lie, but apart from that, a wonderful evocation of the trials of working in the customer relations sector. Long live T-Rex and Big Al.

I was in the supermarket today and as the poor checkout chick took my money she sneeze-farted!

(I think I may have caught her cold - garlic time!)

Interesting take on the shopping ordeal Delta :)
