Single Ply Truth

It happened.
Surprised the fire out of me
when she said I googled you.

Why would she do that?
I spend my days sucking
acid reduced breakfast, lunch and dinner,
exposing the delicious smell of bacon frying
as the poopological con it really is.

I have mostly gray hair, and
a belly the size of a prize winning watermelon.
I do have all my teeth, and
some really sexy sunglasses.

Regardless her reasons
the odiferous truth is there,
my words are full of boaters good eats and drinks.
I am a shit poet.

Unroll a few lines of this single ply poem,
and wipe the grin off your face.

Pat you are amazing. I love how you dance with words. Sometimes I have to lean back imagine my best dress on and dance along invited or not.

Just wonderful this one is. It suits me perfectly.

You are such poet! Even "poopological" finds its place in your verse.

Great job!

A belly the size of a prize winning watermelon? That's really round. You still look handsome, buddy.

LOL- this is so "charmin"- always love your play on words. :)
Unsolicited flattery at any age,is wonderful, no matter how truth now may unravel some of the "paper" memories.

I'm came looking to see if you were posting again and delighted to find you here with two poems I love! I read your last post about the boaters and was interested to know that so many boaters have been out over the season. I'd pulled out my logbook from 1977 and have been writing a series of poems from that trip and wondering how anyone can afford it now. My husband can't even afford to dock our boat anymore here in South Florida. Granted salaries were lower but my salary wasn't that much lower than his is now back in 1977 . I have a lognote commenting that we tied up at Bucksport, S.C. for a week while visiting my folks on the trip for an entire nine dollars and sixty cents. A 25 block of ice cost a buck. We could fill a backpack with groceries for under 13 bucks. That was a different time and with my ex, though.

WELCOME BACK!!

P.S. The irony of it just occured to me..the one humorous poem I've written and posted on my blog in my sailing series involves poop, but I don't think you'd have wanted THAT job:-) (so to speak)
