Sentiments n words

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…
Grim faces
Under tons of bases
Perfectly painted eyes
Permanently pasted smiles

Roaring laughter
On jokes kids won’t laugh at…
Revealing pearly teeth
Underneath the vogue hat…

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


He, equally furnished
Sits by her side…
Browses the menu card
Like a fashionable guide

Calls the waiter…
In a mellowed voice
Who hears them
Above all the noise...

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…

Says she, some salad,
Fish and chips with a coke
Followed by
Pina colada less I choke

Also,
The soup of the day
Shrimps
Fresh from the bay,
And yes,
Sir would take.
Your best,
Royal mushroom stake
Bring us
Some very fine,
Tasteful
Vintage wine

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


As the food arrived
She already looked full
She in height of manners
Ate only a spoonful

He unlike her,
Ate his best
And then ordered,
“Pack the rest!”

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


An enormous bill
He happily paid
She by his side
Exited the gate

A crippled boy,
On the coldest night
In his tattered dress
Shoeless, came in sight

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


A withered soul,
At the age of nine
Matured by time
Begged for a dime

After having
A splendid feast
The boy to them
Was a horrible beast

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


A penny for the boy,
Cannot be wasted
He thought with
A smile still pasted

“This rascal, he told her
Is a hungry beast
Here every day he eats
A giant’s feast!”

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…


This boy whose bones
Were visible
Thought begging business
Very Feasible!

He pushed aside the
Feasting beast
And drove away
in his Mercedes

I sat in a lonely corner
Like a detached foreigner

Observing…
