SAINT CLOYSHUS FROM A LILY PAD

A simple committee meeting

SAINT CLOYSHUS FROM A LILY PAD

 

Saint Cloyshus:  You have gathered here because

we have problems in our environment.

 

Mick:  You mean the world is warming ?

 

Milly: No, the information overload, silly.

 

Patrick:  The genome theory is irrelevant.

 

Saint Cloyshus:  I have called you here to explain

the problem and to decide what we must do.

 

Mick:  I have an itch.

 

Milly:  Well, scratch it, silly.

 

Patrick:  Are we going to protest ?

 

Saint Cloyshus:  We have lost our ability to love.

 

Patrick:  It`s the dang anti-gun activists, right ?

 

Milly:  Well scratch it , silly.

 

Patrick:  We will abandon Writers Cafe and start

over.

Milly, Mick and Saint Cloyshus:  Scratch it, silly.

 

Saint Cloyshus:  No, love is dead.

 

Milly: ---bleep----

 

Mick: What can be done ?

 

Saint Cloyshus:  You must go back to God.

 

Milly:  What`s God?

 

Patrick:  God is love.

 

Mick:  I beg to differ.

 

Milly:  I know, it`s the information over-load !

 

Saint Cloyshus:  We will all meet here at the same

time next month.  Be sure to bring reports from all

your committee`s at which time we will formulate

a workable report process to finalize this final

report epitomizing the finality of love.

 

Milly:  Yes !  We will all decide.

Big Smiles...just where is this pond?? I am wondering if this is a challenge to all writers out there to write about love or if this is going to be a monthly chapter poem book that we will all look forward to reading...either way. Great job and very unique presentation.

[DreamSharer]

Well this was written intelligently! I liked how you got us all involved. This is yet another good write Eagle...Thanks for sharing, it made me smile :)

[Liza]

so smart and so silly - my most favorite joyous pass time...
i liked the simplicity in the depth of the callings to love

[Katseye]

Reminds me of the meetings we have at work. People voice there concerns, but in the end nothing changes, because everyone only care about what inconveiences them.

Well, now, tis a touch of the Irish here .. with the sitters-in itching and ignoring the man - did they actually mean to ignore him, did you actually mean to make me laugh while I have a sore throat!

Behind the funny bits, there's some thinking here: too much red tape, not enough love - scrap the one, invest in the other? Maybe I'm wrong there, often am - or is that here in this place we write overly aware of what others will think and say about certain subjects???

[Forest Green]

Complete with disclaimer...;)

Very revealing portrait of modern life/stress/distress.

Finding the source of our wants and frustrations...you've done well with your verse. Very poignant.

[QuietPoet]

This was kinda funny lol. Idk if it was suppose to be, but I laughed. Nicely done

[Phibby Venable]

very keen insight into the world and nature. excellent.

[Katie]

I am glad I you sent me a read request because this is something I would not typically pick out to read. I really liked the whole layout of this story. It was filled with satire but serious in a way. I really enjoyed this.

[Katreya]

This is quite different!
Cool, and unusual (for me at least). Has an effect of comedy and reality - as another stated below, where things don't actually get done at these meetings, as tends to happen. =P

[Neal James]

Typical of cross-purpose talk and groups where nothing gets done.

Nice piece of satire (I thought)
