It’s Friday night in America
I’m at home as usual
But no complaints
I’ve got company over
The sort of people you might know
Guest No. 1 is from South Africa
She’s poring over The Grapes of Wrath
Only two years old but simply delightful
She really improves the quality of my life
And has potent arguments when debating
But bellyaches when I mention Sideways
I wish she didn’t whine so much
Guest No. 2 is from Denmark
205 years old and awfully brilliant
He has dedicated his life to God
But I think we view Christianity differently
His sarcasm bewilders me
Perhaps I should learn his sense of humor
But philosophers aren’t typically amusing, are they?
Guest No. 3 is from Austria
He needs no introduction
For he’s older than all of us here combined
He loves playing piano
Especially Rondo in D Major
This guy never talks, he just plays all night
I wish he’d at least say hello
I suppose I better return to playing host
My guests are probably wondering where I am
And I think Guest No. 2 is criticizing Hegel again
Nevertheless, my humble abode feels like home
Thanks to the company I keep

Perfection.
Ricco Wright
Thank you.

I felt like I was in a room full of disciples, or a room full of chiefs, or a room full of perspectives. #Dope.
Ricco Wright
No disciples. No chiefs. But many perspectives and certainly a room full.

Had me wanting more…
Ricco Wright
You’re welcome to read my other writings on this site. Enjoy!

A Two year old Malbec from StellenbachI suppose?
Ricco Wright
No Malbec. Nor should I say publicly what it is. However, here’s a hint: watch Sideways.

I always knew you had it in you Ricco! This is a masterpiece!! Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats have nothing on you!
Ricco Wright
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed this. And I appreciate your kind words. I doubt I would’ve done well as a Romantic poet. At the same token, I doubt all three of them would do well as a 21st Century poet. Good thing the stars aligned well enough for the four of us to write in the eras meant for us.

Personification at its finest! Wish I was there tell everyone I said hello.☺
Ricco Wright
Thank you. I’m sure they would’ve enjoyed your company as well. Especially the South African. She’s quite the social butterfly.
