Tuesday poem: First in a long series of nasty little poems
April 12, 2016
She would surely
free the refugees —
but mostly those
with nice table manners.
P.S. Cottier
Based on overhearing a conversation at a café about how ‘we’ could take in more refugees if only they would ‘assimilate into mainstream society’. I said nothing, but write this in true esprit de l’escalier. It’s almost an aphorism, rather than a poem, isn’t it?
PS Cottier 
lovely poem
Thank you! I was aiming for sarcastic and nasty, but that can be lovely, in its own way. (-:
An amuse-bouche! I look forward to the next in the nasty little series. 😉
Merci, Michele. There has been a sudden outburst of French here!
Do continue 😀
I shall, Sean, mon ami.
