The Ugly Table (#11)
If you have to ask the price you should have stayed home and ate ramen noodles.

SOUTHERNERS
Why don’t you have sweet tea?
Why don’t you have white bread?
Why don’t you have country fried steak?
Your water tastes like piss.
Your fries are rinky dinky.
I want some of that chippy dippy stuff (Nachos).
I want my steak well done.
Three dollars is too big of a tip.
Ahem . . .
Why are you so ignorant?
Why are you so rude?
Why are you so un-kept?
Why does your wife look like you?
Why do you think you are funny?
There is a reason why the South lost the Civil War . . .
“What’s the difference between the cheeseburger and the bacon cheeseburger?”
After a long pause I replied,
“Bacon?”
SIDENOTE: Actually the cheeseburger has mustard, no mayo and the bacon cheeseburger has mayo, no mustard. My apologies.

It was just a gift of time
that brought openness
to the affair
There were good words
There was peace
then alcohol and mock anger
After a cup of sweet coffee
a rough good good bye

I FONDLED THE FRINGES OF YOUR JACKET
YOU FINGERED THE FRINGES OF MYÂ MIND
Soft urine color on your coat
Brine taste on the lips
Magic to the senses and thoughts
The wind
The clouds
A field in view
The window in time will shatter
But not your love or sullen mind

BLOODY AS HELL or BURNT TO A CRISP?
“I’ve cooked a lot of steaks in my day, and this isn’t medium rare.”
Let’s make something clear; every restaurant cooks a steak differently.
Deal.
MOST place’s don’t go by Joe Jackwagon’s BBQ standards.
