He said the word Hello.

poem by: Christopher Russon
Written on Feb 23, 2019

He wondered up towards the bar
He said the word Hello
An angry face looked at him
He received an awful blow.
He went crashing into tables
Then landed on the floor
Glasses smashed and broken
His chin felt rather sore.
Those blows they kept on coming
One two three and more
He saw the chance and took it
He just ran towards the door.
The whole thing was alarming
He couldn't help but think
He was only trying to be friendly
When ordering himself a drink.
Then again he had to wonder 
About that dreadful place
She may of looked a stunner
But her manners a disgrace .
