“DAMN COLD DAY!”
“Damn cold day today!”
He entered on the attack.
“Indeed it is, Sir,
A very fine one, at that!”
Uninvited, unwelcome,
And lacking in tact,
“Your house looks like crap,”
He scowled and growled back.
“Indeed it is, Sir,
A very fine one at that!”
I faced him, smiling,
Never giving him my back.
He sneered at me boldly
And tried another tack,
Cursing like a sailor,
“That’s a damn ugly cat!”
“Indeed it is, Sir,
A very fine one at that!”
Unable to argue,
I watched his face turn black.
Disgusted and confused, he spit,
“I’ll be right back!”
“You’re welcome anytime, Sir,
Please do come back!”
I sat there and waited, but
He never came back.

Written and submitted for the Speakeasy Fiction Slam And Poetry Jam, Post #146. This week’s prompt is to be used as the last sentence: “I sat there and waited, but he never came back.” The video prompt to be referenced is “C is for Contrafibularity,“ and I referenced it by using the first two lines of the clip.
