JusJoJan Day No: 26

JusJoJan Day No: 26

Today’s prompt:  busy

I remember those days before cell phones.

The landline phones – some wall-hung – some princess style sitting on an end table.

Times were different for certain since friends were never too ‘busy‘ for each other.

What happened?

New age – new time-saving appliances – new contraptions often referred to as

doodads.

Yet since my divorce you refrain from contacting me – tis I the one who initiates calls.

You’re too ‘busy‘ to pick up the phone! You’re too ‘busy‘ to plug in my number on your

cell!

Yet at Christmas you ‘always’ find the time to snail mail me a card. 

Well I grew tired of your so-called disappearance act for whatever reason(s). 

This year I retrieved your holiday sentimental card from my mailbox and to date it still

sits unopened.

Friendship to me has always been a two-way street. I never deserted a friend in need.

Times when in actuality I was too ‘busy‘ to converse I still made the effort often at my 

expense.

I vow until the end of time to continue my mannerisms only I refuse to allow any

person to treat me like a misfit because of single status.
