The height of folly

The height of folly

A Poem by COLLYMORE
"

The feral conduct of supposedly matured adults never fail to amaze me!

"

By Stanley Collymore

 

How stupid can you be? In a hotel where smoking guests

are overwhelmingly catered for and 99% of the entire

hotel is given over to them, you deliberately come

into the small non-smoking area, sit down, see

no ashtrays around, which to any sensible person

ought to have been a dead give away, get up,

go into the smoking area, fetch

an ashtray from there and then return

immediately to the non-smoking area to foul the

air there; as well as inconvenience and more

importantly put at risk the lives of each

non-smoker present, including that

of my own with your damned

obnoxious habit! How

bloody stupid and arrogant

can one get? And did you expect

too that I would simply sit there,

passively allow this to happen

and do nothing to prevent it?

For if you did then, as

you were found out,

you were badly

mistaken!
