Go to your room!

No

What!

You heard

You live under this roof you do as you're told!

Why?

Because you're behaving like a prize turd!
And don't answer back!

But I haven't had dinner...

No dinner!

I want dinner...

Dinner is forfeit!

Has it occurred to you that the reason
you may perceive me to be acting as you describe
is due to the fact that I may possibly be
starving to death?

You're doing it again!

Doing what?

Answering back!

When the proposition is preposterous
I have every right of reply

Go to your room NOW!

I have every intention of doing so -
but under my own volition and just
as soon I've eaten dinner

We don't feed turds in this house!

I saw you eating just before

Right!

Left

My last warning!

I think I might order a pizza -
and have it all to myself

You can't order a pizza!

Why not?

Because I'm cooking dinner!

But you just said-...

Don't tell me what I just said!

I'd prefer a pizza to anything you've made

No pizza!

You do realise you're completely off your rocker don't you?

What!

Just because you're cooking dinner
doesn't mean I have to eat it

You'll eat whatever I serve up!

Can I eat it in my room?

No!

Why not?

Because you'll eat with the rest of us!

But I'm not in the mood for your company right now...

How dare you!

Can't you go and walk the dog or something useful?

I am doing something useful!

Like what?

I'm cooking dinner!

Hang on - what day is it?

Tuesday!

Really? I'm supposed to be at work
Hey listen it's been real-... I've got to go

You haven't had dinner!

I'll pick up a pizza

When will you be back!

About half past

Half past what!

Yeah - catch ya when I get home...

Everything thing you write has a streak of tangible weirdness about it- your own essence. This one is no different and was an entertaining read, even if it seems somewhat composed offhandedly.

Not related, but this reader was just reading through one of your poems, the one that started with 'Heart of Glass' on the radio. That was really a great poem.

Brillant poem made me laugh.

Thankyou Jacko :)


And thankyou again :)

[MystyrMystyry]

Thankyou Zoo :) I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I wasn't sure if the sane one was a child or a spouse. Being sent to one's room implies a child, but having to go to work implies a spouse. The dialog was good. If anything, I'd make the sane one nutty as well, but in a different way.

Wow, that was brilliant, put a smile on my face :D

Thanks YesNo - I was just thinking about those kids who hang around home for years past its use by date. You know the ones, outwardly look like successful businessmen, and on weekends they follow their worn out demented parental slaves around the supermarket.

Thanks CoverTheSun. A smile's a good way to start the day :)
