“I knew you would do it. I had known it all along”. I braced myself for an intense verbal onslaught as soon as I heard those words. Better sense prevailed and I shut my half-open mouth, waiting for the unavoidable storm to abate. I contemplated opening a can of soda and propping up my legs on the rickety center table but the thought of verbal abuse turning physical was disincentive enough. “How could you do this to me? After being loyal for so many months, you just turn tail and bail”. My thoughts wandered off as I tried to make a Shakespearean sonnet from that last rhyme. My non-poetic mind gave way instantly.
“I was your steadfast friend, your solitary companion in times of gloom. I heard you out day after day, sometimes even twice a day, as you poured your heart out to me. We made everyone green with envy with our relationship and everyone seemed to know us better when we were together” I bet TCM was playing some sappy romantic comedies over the past month but restrained myself from making a smart comment. It was the result of a flippant, casual remark that things were where they are right now. “You made tons of friends and acquaintances on my account. Heck! People even invited you over for Christmas because they loved me. You abandoned me then and now you abandon me again. I can hardly think straight but have retained my sanity enough to know you better as a boorish, uncouth, insolent, coarse, and indecorous nincompoop.” My! My! Such venom but use of my overestimated vocabulary against me was downright sneaky. But I knew better than to bring up copyright violation issues at such a delicate moment.
“But try to understand. I am just….” I tried to butt in. “Shut up! You have lost all right to speak and convince me otherwise. Every time you make an excuse of the sorry existence that you call your life and turn tail” Ouch! That hurt but mentions of that tail again surprising irked me more…must be mistaking for another body part. I chuckled to myself at that lame mental humor. “Oh! So now you find that funny, you come crying to me every time you run into rough weather and use me to boast about your inflated accomplishments. I tolerate all that you expect me to laugh”
I guess I had enough. I simply had to put my foot down and show who wore the pants around here. “I am just going away for a week to visit my parents and will never abandon you, my dear blog” I paused a second to let that sink in. “Huh? You promise? Awwwww….you are such a sweetheart”
