Evolution Of A Smile

Evolution Of A Smile

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Don't mess around with Patty.

"
Tea pot Patty slurps her ginger tea
Whiskey with opioids mixed within it
A cup of pleasure there for company
Poor bar stool could break in two
With Patty and her tonnage on it
A lit cigar dangles from thick lips
She was born upside down with it
When a doctor slapped
She slapped back
Put him in the hospital for his insolence
A convenience since he was already there
For this emergency with tender loving care
Not foreseen or known beforehand
Or was it a back hand that landed him
In traction instead of out there golfing 
She continues drinking assorted teas
Don't mention doctors around fat Patty
It could evoke a joke or something mean
Don't even thing about her portly size
Or zip code being issued in her name
In honor of her state of mind and weight
It could elicit a response or something worse
The evolution of a smile hard at work
Authors Disclaimer: The author wishes to distance himself from the name "Patty" and "zip codes" since he does not know of any persons or entities with those names.
In light of the new religions of socialism and related politics,  the author wishes to distance himself even further, say Mars and beyond.  He wants to apologize in advance to all snowflakes and their kind who might be offended by such matters as weight or zip code size insults taking place within the confines of this story/poem.

Your disclaimers made me laugh out loud. I must admit it was great to read and very entertaining for a story.
