On a Friday afternoon, in the Burger joint for my weekly treat Celebrating another week in, that I'd survived another week in the job I ordered my usual, a Veggie burger meal They have this lovely Veggie burger, it's a burger made of potato with a lot of other vegetables through it Is very tasty, this and some nice big chunky chips/ fries along with it, with some sachets of tomato sauce All rounded off with a nice Black coffee... very nice... The restaurant was quite busy that day for some reason, my usual seat was taken So I had to find somewhere else to sit
As I sat there feeling happy with myself I was reminded of something I'd once read about the great Irish poet W.B.Yeats He was sitting in a teashop once looking out the window at the passing crowds And he suddenly realised that life was good, that he could bless and be blessed I thought to myself "I knew what he meant" Then suddenly out of the corner of my eye I notice someone looking over at me... looking directly at me Indeed they seem to be staring at me I thought to myself "Better not make eye contact, might be some kind of ******" Then I noticed someone else was looking over at me too "What the **** are you looking at!" I thought to myself And then there was another person and then another "What the **** are you all looking at??!" I thought getting a little flustered at this stage Every few moments a head would pop up and start looking straight over at me I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable Suddenly it seemed like they were all looking over at me... the whole feckin' room "What the hell are you all looking at, you bunch of feckers", I thought "Had I turned into the elephant man or something !!" Finally I said I'm getting the hell out of here Their all looking at me So I stuffed my bag of chips in my pocket Drained my cup of coffee and wrapped what was left of my burger in a napkin to take away As I stood up to put on my coat I turned around And noticed for the first time there was a big TV screen up on the wall right behind me So that's what the feckers were all looking over at It wasn't me at all!!!
"**** !" I thought, "spoiled my whole feckin' lunch W.B. Yeats my ****".
True story this, the funny things that happen every day. Happy belated St. Paddy's Day ☘️🇨🇮🥂
