(comes in handy with a 'clock')
It made him boil for an instant
He had just walked into the room
Sheepishly he remarked without thinking
'sorry I'm late'
Then someone replied,
'it is ok, we're just leaving!'
On another occasion, unwittingly he blurted out
without even looking up,
'what's the time now, anyone?'
A nerd (Yes, he was!) stood up
He went into a discourse on how to make a watch
Why couldn't they be more tolerant?
Why indulge in sarcasm to show displeasure?
Why time wasting to square off points?
Why not allow for some freedom in little mistakes?
All goes to show the truth of the adage,
'look before you leap'
For Lillian's at d'Verse - It’s all in the timing!

Look indeed, because you never know what may take seed. Some just have no time for anyone, or at least make like they don't.
ReplyDeleteLove this take on the prompt! So glad you posted :)
ReplyDeleteSome mean spirited friends he has.
ReplyDeleteIndeed small mistakes needs to be mistakes... there are often just a smoke screen for big mistakes anyway.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pity that sort of meanness.
ReplyDeleteNo use arguing with mean spirited people I guess ~
ReplyDeleteLook before you leap as you never know ...
ReplyDeleteAnd so the petty explodes.
ReplyDeleteA kindness given will return to the giver, just as a need to put down will come back to haunt the one who puts down.
