The ceiling fan droned on and on
about the fruit of its whirling
being a full blown relative to wind.
With the evidence breathing down my neck,
it was hard to deny some validity to the claim.
As the only witness, judge and jury
to the “whooshfulness” of this argument,
I accepted it as a techno cousin of a breeze,
but not enough oomph to be a sibling of a gale.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

Ah...this brought a smile Pat! You can take the most ordinary things and make a delightful poem...thank you for that.
My whoosefulness is running as I type!
even a fan is allowed a little whooshful thinking :)
our modern lives are filled with techno cousins. Hopefully we will never forget the true gales.
you make a fan sound funny (i'm trying to imagine gale force "whoosh" in the office) :)
love it!
good one :)
