self help

i'm bored i tell
susie, my wednesday
night girlfriend.
and she says, well,
only boring people
are bored, and i
say, where did you
get that. did you
just make it up, and
she says, no. i read
it in my new self
help book about how
to enrich your life
with fun and interesting
people. maybe you
should read it, she
says smartly. maybe
i will, i say, but i
find most boring people,
including you , alot
more interesting after
i've had a few drinks
under my belt.
so why bother with
the book? i hate you
she says. but you're
not bored are you?
i answer back. no,
she says, not at all
as she throws the book
making me duck.
