i ordered a hamburger
"what's in it?"
i asked in a jovial manner
more as a talking point
rather than a genuine query
the lot
"what?"
one with the lot
"what’s in it?"
i asked again
his left eye twitched
for a second
it’s got a pattie
made out of
what may once
have been beef
cheese
lettuce
tomato
egg
beetroot
bacon
onions
tomato sauce
garnished with salt and pepper
on a large round buttered roll
all the fillings are optional
even though a burger
with no pattie
is pretty silly really
he looked at me
“any pineapple?” i asked
ooops...
a slow rage
was coming to the boil
behind his bloodshot eyes
he looked at me
like i’d molested his favourite cat
a blind heat building
behind the bloodshot
he looked at me
like i tried to sell him a Datsun
his bottom lip quivered
as if indicating
his current level of anger

A Digital Pandemic.
After a long day in the department, Emily dropped her worn and tired dark leather bag on the counter before navigating through the small and disordered kitchen to grab a cold beer from a contrarily empty fridge. She hadn't had a chance to unpack since moving from Newcastle to Glasgow, let alone shop for sustenance, except for cold brews naturally.

Hahahahahahahahahhahaha that ending!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
People are always so critical and judgmental of what other people like to eat😭. Like, let people enjoy their food. It's not like it's the end of the world if someone has certain preferences that differ from yours.
Buyers guide, eh?:D
So funny, but I wouldn't have been the one got banned from the shop😅
