Stiffed

 

I can’t believe

I wanted to get with

This Nitwit….

He actin’ like he

Did S***

When all that

Really happened

Was a con artist

…..In action…

His fashion

Had me fascinated

His skin softly

Resonated….

As strong white teeth

…Appreciated…

The delicate meal

Set before his pallet

….But, oh snap!!..

He forgot his wallet…

Droned off about

Leaving it at his office

I tried to

Shake off this

Feeling of being had..

Can’t believe this Negro

Could turn out

Bad…I was mad,

But I held it in..

Contemplatin’

Paying the tab..

But not just yet..

We just met..

This was his idea..

As he dialed a number

Putting his cell to his ear

I could hear

The gentle tones

Of the next female

I mean…How Dare!!!..

But I kept my cool,

Cause Thunder ain’t

Nobody’s fool

I excused myself..

He assumed my destination

Was the powder room..

But I ran into the waiter

Asked him to

Do me a favor

Leave a note for..

The man still seated…

Make sure, I’m gone

Before he reads it..

Exiting the Door,

I heard, “I can’t believe this!!”

I laughed and shook my head

For the note simply said

“When you finish doing the dishes…

Make sure you get that receipt”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wow a memory popped into my head as I read this one and all I can say is make sure you smile when your walking out the door. All have come across that one fool who cant offer a damn thing but sometimes we realize it all too late. Well you just told all those who read this a way to move on and away from those who have nothiong to offer. Great piece.

This is the trurth for real! This is one of the best pieces I have read in a min on here. Not for any particular style or how you put your words together, but because of the story you told and how you kept it G in the face of a wanna be "player" and a BALLLERR that is STRUGGGGLING...LQTM (Laughing Quietlt To Myself)
