Sometimes Bitter Sweet Is What You Get
Bitter SweetHerein be the bitter dregs --starting with the regrettable failure of invited guests to RSVP, and eventually adding more as other social gaffes and faux pas come to Molly's attention.
And since we are all of us plagued by email gaffes, this is a most ripe theme for general amusement. Who among us, at times, has not wished to
avoid the bitter sweet taste of a regrettable email, and "Bring it Back!"
Woes of the Hosts
Though invited to your celebration,
Very few turned up for the occasion.
Oh, think of the waste!
And to pout? In poor taste.
So just simmer in sad consternation.
Is your job a bitter pill? Commiserate with others for shared joy is doubled; shared sorrow, halved. Down here in the rank and file, bitter sweet is a way of life, and it might escape your attention that a plethora of humor erupts from our Board Room facility. Join us there for a rollicking good time, and a foray into other forms of business humour, we suggest you hold a drinking glass up to the Board Room door. Here, we’ll rinse this one out for you. Regrettably, the room does not have a peephole, so you will not be able to actually see the individual being skewered today, nevertheless, it may do you good to know that you—should you be a wage slave— are not the only discomfited in the normal course of business. And a more specific bitter pill is being a wage slave, is it not? Commiserate with Kathleen...
There's no need to tell any adult
Invitations are not an insult
To friends you aspired
To fete. It misfired!
And lost labor is the result..
You clean, and you shop, and you cook,
Oh, the exercise to your checkbook!
And when that day is done,
Wonder who'll eat the ton
Of food from which just few partook?
Fit to be tied with vexations,
The hosts heard of few cancellations
But they goofed, failed to see
Need for RSVP
Did their guests need engraved invitations?
Bitter Pill?
Guest's Reply
We didn't demand celebration
Nor insist the host note the occasion
And about our default?
Why, it's their own fault!
We can’t bother with verification.
