2821. You're useless © Bruce Goodman 21 August 2023

You know Stacey, you’re useless. You’ve never had a thing published yet you write all this poetry. You send it off to magazines and competitions. As a poet you’re wasting your time. In fact as a writer you’re wasting your time. You’re useless. Then when you took up running you were as bad at that as you were at writing. I don’t see the point of running around the block several times. You get all sweaty for nothing. There’s no style. It’s obvious that it’s an area you have no talent in. Most of your friends leave you for dead body-wise. Then there’s the time you catered for six people coming to you birthday and forgot to count yourself. Six plus one makes seven! It was hilarious. Obviously mathematics is not your strong point. Ha! Ha! I wouldn’t try to throw too many dinner parties if I were you. I’d like to see you tackle algebra! Ha! Ha! Stop trying to be someone you’re not. To sum up Stacey, you’re useless at… I was going to say “useless at most things” but it’s basically EVERYTHING that you’re useless at. Anyway, all the best tomorrow for your first day at High School. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
