4 am & all is not well...

I should know better by now, but sometimes I just cannot resist popcorn for dinner...LOL

four am & all is not well…


 


just called out of work,


something I rarely ever do,


feeling sickly, but will pass I know,


damn popcorn for dinner, what a joke.


 


should have had something better, that I know,


but felt like popcorn of the microwave variety,


knew during first bite, but kept right on,


but didn’t, to my own smarts I give one, finish the bowl,


threw it away when I felt not right,


I rarely ever eat it anymore, as I know what it does,


but every now and then, I find it is my goal…


 


so here I am at 4am, not in bed where I would like to be,


but sitting up and waiting till it gets through,


so I can sit elsewhere and flush it down,


through my system and that of the plumbing,


of the camper bowl that is round…


 


don’t feel bad for me, as I did it to the self,


this feeling is not worth killing inside, my elf…

With our great world of technology, why can't they invent a
popcorn without the hull?
That's what does it to you, you know.

I think...

All right then, fine. I won't feel sorry for you. Heck, why would I anyway. You and Rufuz are off on a wonderful cruise. I'm stuck at home - in the cold and snow. So there.

Ed;

I commiserate with you. Had the same experience in the Army. Colonels never did agree with me.

P.S.
That was a pun, son.
