AT POOR ELLIOT'S EXPENSE
Folder:
JOURNAL #9 would you like a little bite
he asked
and I laughed in his face
but I don't like waffles
I replied
as he slyly sneaked me a quick taste
Not bad, I admitted Did you make these yourself?
Are you kidding me?
he asked
to boil water I need some serious help
who made them then?
I asked the too handsome man with
no apparent shirt
why they came out of a box marked
'Breakfast to be eaten, so you can be alert'
you're joking I snickered as I licked my sticky lips
No, my room mate is a real stickler for labels he even
files all his receipt slips
Is that the only thing he labels I wickedly asked
as I leisurely strolled about the house to take a little peak
No, he snorted, the worst of it all is his underwear
are color coded and initialed with each day of the week
and on that very ridiculous note we drown together in
a comical puddle of naturally uncontrolled laughter
and I never could look at poor Elliot, his quirky,
fastidious house mate in the face ever again
from then on after............
