Taste

I know someone who saw a play
More times than she’ll admit,
And others shared her fervor
For the show was quite a hit.

Nominated for awards
It’s still on Broadway now,
But when I finally saw it
I felt nothing close to Wow!

The cast was filled with energy,
The story meant to wrench;
But I sat there, dispassionate –
My thirst it did not quench.

Yet recently I met the one
Who loves it with devotion.
Uncomfortably, I did admit
To me, it lacked emotion.

We talked of other theater dates,
Productions we adored;
And when I named my favorite one,
She said it left her bored.

I laughed at that and so did she;
All awkwardness erased.
I’m sure we both were thinking that
You can’t account for taste!
