What You Don’t Expect


Such a razzle-dazzle of a joke you are!

To reconcile misunderstandings,
An Affair to Remember, you say,
holding flowers that resemble
wilted parsnips, and you expect me
to remain stationary
on a short leash, building up hope.

Just what skin did you come wrapped in?

And how ill-fitting is your stance
especially since you don’t expect
to be wearing on your head
my left-over soup, in the next second!
