Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
You float around the office in your kimono
bidding people Namaste,
but you’re the nasty office gossip,
who always has something to say.
In the evenings you teach meditation
showing people how to breathe,
but the way you treat your work-mates,
it’s no wonder they all leave.
You practise meditation and mindfulness
teaching Yoga and Tai Chi,
but you growl and snarl at colleagues
while sipping your green tea.
Actually I think I’ve got it figured out,
while you aren’t quite the hippy you portray
you are a little ray of sunshine
as long you’re getting your own way.

Doh! Good write Tom.
Thanks, mate. Appreciated. 🙂
The duality displayed in hypocracy driven by narcissism. Well written with images of all. Very nice
They portray themselves as this hippy, peace and love type person, but if you remove the token hippy tropes, they are a nasty piece of work. I tried to get this down in a poem. Thanks so much for your comments, Soren. Really appreciated.
The practice of practice what you preach, i have certainly worked for people like this is the past, thinking they are way and above their station, enjoyed the read
They have themselves down as this lovely person because they do Yoga and meditate. They should try treating people a little better. Thanks so much for your comments. Really appreciated. Cheers, Tom.
You are very welcome
Well, to be fair, the Sun does get its way…eventually… so they’d kinda make a perfect pair. 🙏🏻🕊
Haha, yes and if you get too close you get burned! Nice one. 🙂
Kimono or not! Fire is truly hot 🔥 🥵
Aint' that the way it is? Sad but true. I have known people like this. Well done, Tom.
Thanks so much, Tristan. Really appreciate your comments.
Excellent write Tom
Thanks a lot, mate. Really appreciated.
You're welcome
I feel sure we all know one or two who fit the bill .. I do love this little number Tom ..
This one kinda wrote itself. 🙂 Thanks a lot for your comments, mate. Really appreciated.
There are many lie that Tom, just treat them with apathy.
Andy
Spot on, Andy. Thanks for your comments.
Sounds like an attention starved Narcissist to me. What he needs is a big cup of "Get a Life". 😉👍
Could not agree more, AP. Thanks for your comments. Really appreciated.
Hypocrisy, alive and well. Great work, Tom.
Thanks so much, brother. Really appreciated.
Oh my word! You were not allowed to make me laugh so hard!!! My la. Waxing eloquent describing reality, with an adroit flick of the wrist rendering side-splitting what accomplishes exactly what we know too painfully well, this takes the cake. You're a regular riot! Thank you so VERY much. I love, love, LOVE it!
This was one of those times when my grumbling kinda turned into lines that rhyme. Thanks so much for your comments, Missy. Really appreciated. Cheers, Tom.
Your write proves some people are only about themselves.
