In response to Sammi Cox’s Weekend Writing Prompt #350 – VAPID (In 60 words!)

The girls were out for a stroll
one kept complaining their outings
were droll

Most but not all agreed
except one who watched them
all proceed

The cluck of viperous tongues
were unkind to everyone they
considered unsung

The quiet one rarely spoken
stopped them when another girl
they poked

I must say your wit is vapid
your humor’s no good your brains
are quite flaccid!

  1. Hurrah for the quiet one who spoke up rather than be a bystander to the bullying.
