PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was distracted by the headlines

when the waitress came to me

and asked the simple question 

“Sir, would you care for a cup of tea?”

I thought it over for a moment then answered,

“Why yes, do you have integrity?

If not, I’d love a steaming cup…

of generosity.”

I didn't stop to think if my humor was taking its toll

How could I? for at that moment I was really on a roll…

“Do you have charity…or honesty?”

or equality?” I mused.

“Or how about some humanity?” 

and here the waitress looked confused.

No wait, surprise me.” I said with a smile...

use your creativity…

“I can't wait.” I said as she walked away

“To see what tea she brings to me!”

Well…it was clear I had misjudged her…

that she didn’t share my jocularity...

as we were escorted from the restaurant 

when she brought security.
