There's this law of nature: Strangers are always looking younger, friends are always looking older, but we stay the same...And 1 pound for a burnt sausage? Are things getting that bad in Britain?

But your poem is a masterpiece of giving voice to regret...

I loved what you said to the lady in the store. One should never hold back nice things if they are acceptable. I loved the sausage parlay. The last poem was great this creshenda building and being swept clean at last. It was great.

p.s. - I'll take some of the tea the young lady is drinking..:)

Re: I am glad to hear your sister is so well-behaved...

She's a ruffian Ciel , I would have probably bought the saugages and moaned . I am the best behaved person in the family. Do not judge a sausage by its skin.

Re: If a cigarette can help with the mourning, smoke it, I say.

Well I guess it is probably too late to matter Pat. One could drink oneself to death or jump off a bridge. One does not like to appear too friendly you know what people are.

Re: Adnohr

Well it was not as if I was chatting her up. Sometimes I have this weird notion of trying to make a miserable looking woman smile. I should have tried it more when I was younger. Yu no a misery hasn't much power, and I wonder why some tall woman stIck their boobs in one's eyes and glare when one cannot avoid looking at them. Oh, I could go on.

He will probably be a Banker A though I might put a different capital in there.

Re: cc

Well I am glad you feel better, see I remember all the nice people. Yes perhaps he was too young to understand the different value between a properly cooked saugage and a burnt one.

THat was a nice compliment that you gave her...I wonder how I will look back on my life. That is what I thought when I read the poem.

sometimes things just slip out, but i agree it is good to bring a smile to someones face, smiling also makes a person look younger. the story would have ended much better if the young man had given the sausage to the dog for nothing.

i like the poem, because i too sometimes wish i had been bolder and seized the days of my youth.

well glad he had a change of heart and sold it to her...even if it was gone in 2 bites!

You made the cashier's day, no doubt. Nothing wrong with that, CCT. Your poem shows the tendency of us living for the wishful 'what if' instead of the important 'what is'.
