How do you deal with awkward situations,
Ones when you’re expected to have fun,
But find yourself in company you’d rather not be near,
Do you stick it out, pretend or simply run?
What if this situation was created
By a friend who thought her friends would suit you too,
Introduced you to some people that you hated
In that strange situation, what’s to do?
And if your friend said “Let us do it next week,”
Same place, same time, same company, what fun!”
How quick are you at making good excuses
Without shocking or offending everyone?
Here’s how I dealt with such a situation,
I bit my lip, avoided eye contact,
And when it came to next week’s invitation,
Judicious lies are also known as tact!
