Style / Type:

freeform

See the guy waiting for his luggage over there

The one with the blonde curly hair

Seems his sights on me were trained

From the very moment I boarded the plane

He’s planning on getting over with me

Knowing full well it’s you I’ve come to see

Guess he said his name was Joe

That I was a reminder of his long ago

Would I join him during changeover to dine

sorry Joe I’ll have to decline

For I have someone else in mind

Somewhere while winging to our destination

He began his grueling investigation

Wanted to know my life’s history

Needless to say I remain a mystery

I’ll only tell you what I think you should know

Then should you persist tell you where to go

Let this be a warning to all you airport Joe’s

That I don’t need you adding to my airports woes

I appreciate moderate constructive criticism

Please do not critique mechanics. The inconsistencies in style are intentional, or correcting them is not important to me.

ladies and I guess gents ( they could be airport Jills) this could happen to you just a little mild sarcasm

I liked the poem a lot—the flow was excellent and a good read that kept the interest up. The first line in the last stanza “you what it think you should you” didn’t seem to make sense; but the overall narative quality was outstanding! Drachm

whoa

Thank you do you know I just read that through and filled in the proper word until I read it a second time

thanks for catching that it should be what I think you should know

Hmm

Little red pen gets to come out and play today: Changovers -> Changeovers.
don’t know what it is about the last two lines that isn’t quite sitting right - seems a wee tiny weak. Oh, speaking of last two lines… There woes -> their woes as it is possessive.
