Larry Jones- A Poem

AWESOME

there's one of those
annoying people
ahead of me
checking out his groceries....
every other word
out of his mouth is
"awesome"

gets on my nerves.

he pays for his stuff----leaves
and the check-out guy
says, hi, how are you?

awesome, I answer.

says,
did you find everything
you were looking for?

awesome, I answer.

that will be five dollars and twelve cents, sir.

awesome, I answer.

for some reason, he smiles.

figured I'd write an awesome poem about it.
