ANTI- SOCIAL

Recently I met with a man
Who was  regarded by many as an 'anti-social'
Who is friendly with too many people
And sometimes took a drink or two.
I tried to salute him and move past
He stopped me
And asked me right in the face
"Why do you go around
Talking to people
Telling them that I am an anti-social
And all that?"

I stuttered a bit
Trying to find an appropriate answer
"But ....but... It is just that
I have seen you in the company of shady people
Both men and women
And know that you drink a bit
Is all that not anti social, then?"

"Ha,ha..." He laughed
I am a social drinker
And do take to some company
So that is anti- social, then?
How about you
Who are a teetotaler and family man
And would rarely meet a friend
You say that is being social?
What a laugh!
At least try to be sociable
Before you go around trying to tell others
Who is 'anti-social!'"
