Respects

(4 stories)

My respects to all #130story tweeters
You wordsmiths, you negative vibe beaters

‘You know, I do like working with Simon, he’s interested in what I’m doing.’
‘Uh-huh’
‘He values my opinion, takes me seriously.’
‘Hmm’
‘He really respects me.’
‘Uh-huh’
‘Tom, are you even listening to me?’
‘Eh? What was that Sandra?’

We gathered around
So stood Aunty Marorie
Told to pay respects
The first Christmas
We were mourning
Not actually eating
Something supposedly
To be a roast turkey

When John joined the flight club
He treated everyone with respect
He never understood why the pilot
Said ‘goodbye’ and pressed eject.
