Sentient Soliloquy

Lunatic indecisiveness aloud.

I am monarch of all that I think.

Cardboard cliches and plastic pretense.

Juxtaposed jargon and worrisome words.

Opined options.

Difficult to discern fiction from reality.

Kinda, sorta.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

What am I to do?

Go for it on fourth down or punt?

Take another card or double down?

Either way, I won't like the result.

What kind of  dressing would you like?

Do you want that put on the salad or on the side?

Would you like the two for one special?

Should I bring that out now or later?

Feet dragging amid paralyzed procrastination.

Thoughts dancing like sugar plum fairies.

Will that be the large or the small?

Do you want fries with that?

What would you like on that pizza?

Will that be cash or charge?

Drive thru derangement.

Do I control destiny or does destiny control me?

This isn't brain surgery so just make up your mind already.

Bear with me as I work this out ...

... in a sentient soliloquy ...

Loved this Pete, maniacal thinking brought on by too many choices so typical when given a food menu that reads like an encyclopedia.

[Pete]

that's funny - "a food menu that reads like an encyclopedia". haha or an automotive manual or instructions for assembling children's toys.

This is beautifully summed up in the awesome phrase 'Drive thru derangement., Pete.

[Pete]

Benny Hill. God bless him. spent much time in my youth watching his show. used to "run" to the tv to watch every evening at 7:00.

[Tony Jordan]

One of Hill's Angels was none other than Daphne from the US show Frasier

[Tony Jordan]

His little bald companion whom he slapped with that awesome sound effect like a wet fish on a counter lived a hundred yards from my mums house.

[Pete]

really? that guy was hilarious on the show. Benny always chasing after him and slapping him in the back of his bald head. Lol

[Tony Jordan]

Yeah, little Jackie Wright, was such a quiet little guy. Benny got lots of mileage from that bald spot haha
