#NaPoWriMo Day 18 (technically 19) and today I’ve been writing a pantoum inspired by too many conversations that I suspect many of you will find… familiar…
Remember that, if you’re a subscriber to my Patreon, you can hear a recording of this piece (and the seventeen preceding it) there. The link to the relevant post is here: [Patreon post]
I ask him not to use that phrase;
I am polite, I do not shout.
He tells me that it’s just his ways,

His arrogance begins to chafe…

(He tells me that it’s just his ways…
of course: I cannot take a joke.)
I ask him not to use that phrase…
