Quarter (an acrostic conversation)

“Questioning what I do will cost you more.”

“Uh, why do you say that?”

“As you waste my time asking me, the expert you hired, stupid questions, my price goes up.”

“Reasonable, but that isn’t a good working relationship.”

“This isn’t a coworker situation. We have an employer-employee situation.”

“Except that always ends in a toxic work environment. We need to have a de-escalation training.”

“Really? You think that? I quit! You can take your two bits and shove them!”

Note: two bits = 1 quarter

Cereal (an acrostic poem)

Couldn’t start her morning without the stuff

Everyday was a bowl or two of sugary goodness

Really it was also a bowl for lunch, and maybe one for a late night snack

Eventually she realized she was an addict

And tried to quit cold turkey, but that didn’t end well

Locked up after freebasing all the Captain Crunch at Walmart

Pause (an acrostic poem)

Perhaps it was time to just quit

Amber decided that didn’t feel right

Unless she really wanted to give up, and that wasn’t her

So she put the saxophone away and folded up her music stand

Eleven minutes of practice still counted for something.  There was always tomorrow
