Wednesday at the Diner

Let's go out tonight...

“It’s been a long half-week, my dear,

Let’s get a hump-day treat.”

So we headed to the diner

To get a bite to eat.

 

We talked and ate and laughed with ease

Sharing ‘My day was…’ narration

And laughed together when a guy outside

Practiced nasal excavation

 

And as we savored diner pie,

Cherry crumb and banana cream,

I thought about how simple it is

To realize Life’s supreme.

Anytime that you can work in the words "nasal excavation" into a poem is pure genius and comical!!

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! If that's true, my genius knows no bounds! Haha! Thanks!

Time to stop and smell the roses or watch gross guys pick their noses... Ha! Either way, it's the laughs and contentment that matter in the big scheme of things! Angi~

[Rita L. Sev]

Exactly - the simple pleasures, whatever form they take!

i really like this too...observations of the little things in life that can be such enjoyment...we too often overlook what matters more than we imagine.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Jacob.

Ha who could eat pie with nasal evacuation going on!? You brought a much needed smile to my face Rita...how's their blueberry crumb by the way?

[Rita L. Sev]

Thanks, Frieda! Yeah, that dude was pretty gross, but we were laughing so hard, it didn't matter. All of their pies are awesome! :) Glad to give a smile!

[Frieda P]

The diner by me has the best fries with gravy, not sure if that's a joisey thing or not...my pleasure Rita.

If only life were always this simple and beautiful. I like the hopefulness in your poetic voice.
