Going Back to Get Back
Registered with Bureau of Revenge
on a whim really.
Oh there were those to get back at.
But nothing Major League.
Save for the one flit who wheedled
the whole room to laughter at my
expense the once.
I tried to walk back his punishment,
but they wouldn’t change their mind.
Given a stammer.
Believe me, his future witticisms
would fall completely flat while
he forced words out!
At any rate, that was enough.
Too small of me, I felt, to go on
with other cases.
But. Not so fast. One against me.
Brought by Jennifer Darlington’s
Sister.
Hereinafter: JDS.
Who claims I met her shaking sister
in a hallway, and she shook so, I
wisecracked “Shall we dance?”
Weak! But it hurt her forever since
she had Muscular Dystrophy.
Who knew?
Now I offered to abjectly apologize!
Wouldn’t work. She’d feel I’d just
turn new words against her!
I’d write it then. Thoroughly heartfelt!
That’s the best way to lie, scoffed they.
Meantime, the computer had made
JDS into JEROME Darlington’s Sister.
All discussion ceased! He the meanest ever!
Sent away then, their wondering if I’d even get homel

Little Pinky Winky
He was super-cautionary
in his saying, lest he
injure sensitive friends.
But Deirdre stiffened when
he referred to a town councilman
as Little Pinky Winky...his socialist
tendencies--mostly.
"What my parents called me and
I hated it!"
Then she went on to hint that
Carl knew that, and was making
fun of her."Why not? Everybody
else does!"
But he assured her, merest
coincidence.
Went on to assert that in the
infinite universes, somebody
was saying Little Pinky Winky
right now.
Deirdre didn't want to hear it!
Accused him of repeating those
words just to injure.
He promised he'd never utter
those injurious words ever again!
Too late! Slammed the door in his face
eventually.
And in his infinite universes, how many
millions of doors etc? At this instant!
I'll stop; he's tiresome.
And she's done with him forever!
No great loss to either?
Now now, we’re called upon to be more
tolerant in this single, imperfect world, yes?
