Nonsensical Conversation

I was surprised by the alluring scent

May smiled. “You’re late – you almost missed tea

I rolled my eyes. “It was 4, wasn’t it?

“Jack and Jill will be here, such a cute pair”

“Jack and Jill, humm, will they really be there?”

“Of course,” May said. “They are bringing the wood.”

Tom scoffed. “They’re not here? Who will bring the wood?”

May smiled dreamily, “I love wood scent.”

I scoffed. “I’m here, will they even be there?”

“Of course,” May said. “They would never miss tea.”

“Don’t like them,” Tom said. “A most horrid pair.”

“You chose someone else, Glory, wasn’t it?”

“Jill chose him. What could I do about it?”

“She looked for you, but you just weren’t there.”

“I was late because she wanted those pears.”

Tom huffed. “No one needs or wants your two cents.”

“Don’t be rude,” May said. “You’ll ruin our tea.”

“Check your cell. Have Jack and Jill got the wood?”

“Is that all you can think about? The wood?”

“It was your job to get wood, wasn’t it”

“No!” I stated. “I’m all about the tea.”

“Ha, Ha,” May said, “You really are out there.”

“I’ve got all that tea that Demitry sent.”

“Yeah, two years ago. You sucked as a pair”

“We were a couple, not some weird bird pair.”

“I’d do anything for love, yes I would.”

“Liar! May, you hocked the ring Alex sent”

“He broke my heart, I just couldn’t keep it.”

I laughed. “You don’t keep the ring, it was theirs.”

“I don’t…let’s just concentrate on our tea.”

“No more,” I groaned. “No more talk about tea.”

“You and that guy were never a good pair.”

“What would you know? You weren’t even there.”

“I won’t wait for them, even though you would.”

Fist clenched. “Did you fucking sabotage it?”

“Stop! Everyone knows tea is heaven sent.”

You cannot have pears with tea, but you would

even though they’re late, tea, it’s heaven sent
