Oh, to join some group and take my card
Of membership with me
And have my clean place set at table
Respectable as can be—
I’d shout the rightness of my group,
They’d shout and say “indeed! ”
And we’d all shake hands and have a drink
To the folk of a better breed.
But I question every stock reply,
Then even of that I wonder why.
Kay, I like your style of writing...witty and satirical. Good work! -Michael
This poem is of a very high standard. I rate it 10/10. In just ten lines you have succinctly described a scenario that we often experience but do not question ourselves as you did: 'But I question every stock reply, Then even of that I wonder why.' Well done. I liked all the readers' comments too.
I have dined upon the sextet of your offerings here and found each morsel unique, delicious, drowned in the sauce of truth. I leave. Satiated.
