MAXINE ON SATURDAY
http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/2010/02/maxine-on-saturday_19.html
RIPOSTE!
RIPOSTE!
Maxine never suffers, like the rest of human kind
Wishing she'd responded with a quip.
She never thinks 'I could have told her......' this and this and this.
Maxine never deigns to lose her grip.
'The books on self help?' I'd have said, as I looked around the store,
'You'll find them on that top shelf over there.'
But Maxine finds the pithy words that leave us all dumb-struck;
She's wicked and she doesn't seem to care!
How often do the smart responses come into our minds
Only seconds after we have been polite!
We long to turn the clock back and re-run a little scene,
In order to inject a little spite.
But time, they say, just does not wait for feeble minds to work;
'The moving finger writes' and all that jazz.
How I'd love to be as devilish and witty as Maxine,
And have the savoir faire that Maxine has!

My Maxine on Saturday link for you.
A great big guffaw, Brenda! That's the best Maxine I've seen in a while! Isn't she just the best? Thanks for playing... :)
How true.... have felt many a times tempted to turn the clock back and take a better pot shot..!!! :)))
Oh I do agree and wish I could say it to rhyme.
You are one talented lady.
