YOU’VE LOST WEIGHT

YOU’VE LOST WEIGHT

Hey Wilford, is that you a voice whispered from behind.

Wilford..
I will ignore her, don't feel like talking 
Just grab these few items that used to cost fifteen dollars,
Now, the value of one hundred dollars off the shelves 
And head out of this supermarket of price watchers like myself.

Wilford..
I'm angry with these high prices
Why can't I find a shorter checkout line?
I am up to here with having to scan my items
Where is the supervisor when you need one

Wilford! This time, with a light touch on my shoulder 
I thought that was you.

Wilford..
Hi, how are you? I was so focused on getting out of here 
I am so sorry I did not hear you.

You have lost weight, she whispered, knowing I looked the same.

Wilford..
Now I'm pissed feeling every once of 225 lbs.

I saw your post on Facebook yesterday.
So you are engaged to be married?
When is the wedding?

Wilford..
Now we're getting somewhere,
So that's what this is all about.

Where is a manager when you need one?
Lost weight, my ass!

Wilford Barker.

You have a good sense of humour, Wilford! Maybe I shouldn't be surprised
but you don't do humour, that's why is funny. And also because you're saying 
exactly what people do. And the last two lines are clever funny. Thumbs up! 
Take care,  B

One who will do anything just for a laugh.
