She - 'the grumpy one'
moaned and grumbled
and grumbled and moaned
about her order
and she was not a happy bunny!
He - sounding for all the world like a solicitor
on his mobile
sharp of tone
slow and authoritative
speaking with knowledge
trying to sort out some boundary dispute
for all to hear
egged on
of course
by 'the Grumpy one'
'she-who-must-be-obeyed'
who - a pound to a penny
caused all the fuss in the first place!
It's been fifteen minutes since we ordered!
I've been in once!"
"Yes, well we didn't plant the hedge
the council must have done it!"
"This place came highly recommended by Cynthia you know!
it's such a shame!"
"...in which case it is the councils responsibility"
Then all of a sudden!
"...oh, there she is!
It's about time!"
'the grumpy one' exclaimed!
a lady
weighed down with a tray came towards them both
full of sincerity
full of apologies
honest and genuine
then she - 'the grumpy one'
became as nice as pie!
"Oh yes we understand"
and
"Oh yes you must be busy!"
and
"oh what a lovely spot you have here"
and
"isn't it such a shame you can't find staff, it must be so difficult when you are so busy"
Chalk and cheese
Night and day
Left and right
Big and small
Rich and poor
Happy and sad
False!
Two faced!
Disingenuous!
and dam right hippocratical!!
