Image: I'm watching you - a chamois (here)
MLMM given words:
uninvited hurry deliverance lofty evade clumsy jeer notch
chamois (an agile goat-like antelope)
cask (a container shaped like a barrel used for holding liquids)
Uninvited guests who often gate-crashed
were not in too much of a hurry to seek
deliverance for their acts of
misguided high-handedness
Instead with lofty ideals they tried to
evade answering to questions regarding
their unruly behavior
With clumsy awareness they could only
be jeered off from any form of dignified
retreat.They had obviously notched an
embarrassing moment for themselves
Like a chamois bewildered for having
strayed into a village of strange people
they might be shooed off
But not without perhaps a cask of plain
water in their hands a consolation for
having made a fool of themselves

A great write Hank, all too often there are people who gatecrash. Wonderful to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Yep, there are those that try and change the subject many a time
ReplyDeleteIf a chamois gatecrashes my house, you bet I'm running his furry butt out!
ReplyDeleteWho is crashing who's gate? LOL

gatecrasher - one needs to be careful where they are crashing..you never know who is minding the gate.
ReplyDeleteFree riders are everywhere!
ReplyDeleteAh.. but uninvited guests could be fun too... but maybe not a beast with horns.
ReplyDeleteLiking your 'Uninvited guests' theme here, Hank. That first word just invites the second, doesn't it? You told it well.
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't any jeering with my two real-time uninvited teens. Just open mouths in awe. I wonder how many restaurants around town had similar scenes that night. No damage though, just a pleasant interruption.
..
I like the comparison of the gate-crashers to the bemused chamois. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOften uninvited guests serve as a delight to the host i.e those without horns.
ReplyDeleteDelightful read :D
One needs to get a better gate sometimes
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photo....I can see the embarrassed flurry of the people in your poem so well.
ReplyDeleteThis was an inventive and challenging read. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteVery cleverly done with the use of chamois. You really get the sense of simpleminded bewilderment some people get when they get called on barging into places they should not go.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the words Hank, I agree the use of chamois was particularly innovative. Haven't we all met a few of these people?
