Behind the kitchen door

Either like what I like or like nothing at all...

 

 

The cook kills the light

to the outside world

where eyes are peering

and blinking with powdered sugar particles

scattered about on half baked threats

trashed and deleted just in case

someone moves the curtain,

opens the window to have a smoke,

flicking ashes on those cast aside

in the decaying flower bed

below wishing they hadn’t

praised those deemed unworthy

by one who shouts,

 

“How dare you bake those cookies? I do not like those cookies!”

 

“I’m sorry sir, which cookies do you like?”

 

“Whichever I decide you idiot!”

:) I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry, it's funny but true that some people are like this. People here and people I work with.

[willweb]

I guess those must be the cookies with nuts...a lot of nuts? :) Well, here's hoping your decision is to laugh, because crying isn't what I was hoping for. Thanks so much Ana. Who needs cookies anyway when someone as sweet as you stops by. :)

[Matching Socks]

I'm allergic to nuts.

[willweb]

I wasn't but I am getting there quickly.

[MomzillaNC]

Well… aren't you just in an existential snit today!

Y'know, this feels like you're being mean to yourself again. Why don't you go off and collaborate with Ana Sophia again and write yourself that kiss?

[willweb]

I'm not being mean to myself, I'm too nice of a guy for that. :) Just some nonesense that came out of a thought about a situation I was having. I don't know about that kiss...with all that's going on around here, stealing a kiss might not be the best idea.

[MomzillaNC]

You doof! It's not "stealing a kiss" when she's trying to give it to you!

[willweb]

Well, you just can't be too careful anymore. :)

[MomzillaNC]

Go back and read the last collaboration. YOU wrote the missed kiss.

[MomzillaNC]

You're just teasing the readers.

[willweb]

Oh darn, I meant dismissed kiss...my mistake. :)

[willweb]

And myself along with them.

[MomzillaNC]

Kiss the girl!

[MomzillaNC]

It's almost Valentine's Day, after all!

[willweb]

I was thinking more along the lines of the Fourth of July...because I know fireworks will go off when I do get that kiss.

[MomzillaNC]

But, the winter stars can sing for you both if you kiss her for Valentine's Day.

[willweb]

Well, since you put it that way.

[Matching Socks]

Whoa, I might just hold off for Fourth of July.
Wait a minute, we don't celebrate that here! Poor guy, shafted again.

[MomzillaNC]

Yea! ;D

[MomzillaNC]

Ana! Don't tease him! He does enough of that to himself!

[MomzillaNC]

Gulp! I just re-read that!

[willweb]

Oops, did I say Fourth of July? I meant, the First of July...Canada Day. See Richard, I am dumb. :)

[Matching Socks]

Lol. :) .

[MomzillaNC]

See, Will, you are mean to yourself.

[MomzillaNC]

Ummmmmm…

Gee! Given the above faux pas, that last comment seems rather in the same vein…

[willweb]

Well, Richard and I were discussing how dumb we were on another poem...didn't you see me looking down when I said that? :)

[MomzillaNC]

Ummmmm… keeping my eyes directed to the front…

[R Smith]

haha pass the plate Will i love those cookies and this poem of so much good intent and deep, deep meaning, light up the oven Will and bake some more :)

[willweb]

Glad you got this one Richard...kind of a bit of nonesense hidden behind the other nonesense.

[willweb]
