Title: Irony

"Ours is NOT to wonder?"
Wonder who said that?

I wondered when
Suddenly I felt uneasy.
Queasy, in fact,
In your presence.

Gosh I thought (how very English)
And I don’t
MEAN
Good Sense of Humor
Although it would have helped
If you had one.

Gosh, I thought
Here’s an evil
Manifestation
of something.

NO
self-depreciation.
No soul.
Just one goal.
YOURS!

A tear formed
in my eye.
No kidding
No ridding myself
of your potent

Venom.

Some people
Are just
so intent on SELF
That they pedestrianally
Trample over others.

I would cite you here
of course
But you
Wouldn’t hear
a word of it.

The only OTHER
in your life

is you.
