Having Fun?

Waiting for the last stragglers,
G left the Seoul tour bus again and resumed negotiations.
The street merchant had started at $10,
And G had gotten him down to $2,
Before returning to the bus.
Now G returned to resume battle.
The vendor was not interested in the game.
G returned to the bus again, not terribly disappointed.
And I?  I was ready to stamp.
“What the fuck is the matter with you G?
The guy makes his miserable living selling cheap trinkets,
And you humiliate the poor son-of-a-bitch
In front of the other street hawkers,”
Is what I should have said.
