So very Proper

So very Proper

 

 

find the right salad fork

but eat carefully,

it's all roughage anyway

 

watch the world

doesn't get caught 

in your throat.

My pleasure---it is a clever write:)

Oh I'm digging this. Subtle attitude delivered with punches. Clever societal jabs. This made me smile.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Work from the outside in ... salad fork the smallest of the lot ... make sure your pinkie is extended in the approved manner ... mind your manners ... never spew what you can't chew ... especially when eating your words.
Still, a good salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing would taste good about now.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I did come from upper middle class and cocktail parties and manners, but never had a very good pinkie...
that is good dressing by the way, Ted.
thanks for the tasty review.

How to maintain dignity through the walk of life, whatever way we digest life, one must learn how to swallow the bitter pill first in order to dilute the poison with wisdom, concise and holds impact Jacob :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

you are so right, Ruth...I appreciate your words,
j.
ps....I am so glad you are back to WC...we missed you.

[Ruth]

Thank you Jacob :) Have a lovely weekend...

Jacob - it's not so much what we eat and how we eat it, but what we are forced to swallow.

There ought to be a law - If you say it or especially if you put it on the air - IT MUST BE THE TRUTH!!
Would scare the hell out of the politicians!
Take care - Dave

[jacob erin-cilberto]

[Dave]

I'm sure that like you and I there are millions who can't wait for this political season to be over. Sometimes I don't know which is more difficult to endure,that or the pendemic.
Take care - Dave

hmmmmmmmm yes ... biting off more than one can chew ...too much roughage ... has risks of choking and constipation ... strong sarcasm in the title says i .. seems so much of our world is unpalatable no matter how proper one attempts to be .. for me this one is like the short chopping blows of inside fighting. ;)

I sense this short impactful metaphor is more about staying in line, not upsetting the boat be it political or not but in doing so bad things are happening and we do nothing to challenge it!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your insightful words, John,

Deep message encapsulated in such a short poem.
I'll keep that in mind, Jacob.
It's telling me something about life.

Difficult to maintain an appetite these days when you dare to check up on world affairs. So much unsavoury, bitter flavoured stuff to sink your teeth into. Forget the fancy forks I can just about pick with my fingers.

fingers work...thank you, Chris,
