BETWEEN THE LINES
Hey
I dunno how to tell you this
but your poem sucks
and so do you
Ha ha
you know I'm kidding, right?
I'm a real kidder, ya know
Oh, and that souffle you made
the other night for the potluck
you BURNT it
and it tasted like shit!
Aw...go on...you know me...
it was DELICIOUS
And while we're at it
I've been meaning to mention that
YOU
have been outlasting your
DEODORANT
if you get what I mean
Ha ha
oh man
I'm such a kidder
a regular Don Rickles in cheap clothing
You know you always smell like a rose
Anyway
great to see you
and hey (whispering in ear)
don't let this get out but...
Your poem sucks
and so do you!
(ha ha)

ReplyDeleteNow that was a catty remark :)
DeleteSmelly poems sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteOne day I'll post the question: Would you rather have a sucky poem and be a smelly person, or have a smelly poem and be a sucky person?
DeleteHa... I think that smelly is in the nose of the beholder... don't know about sucky
DeleteBurned and stinky and sucky, oh my!
ReplyDeleteNobody's perfect, eh?
DeleteOver reaction...if you did not want your curtains washed in fresh rosemary you should have said so !
ReplyDeleteNext time I'll be more specific--ha ha
Delete__ Sometimes, 'tis better to leave a 'vacuuming' thought that 'siphons' the readers' imaginations.
ReplyDeletea poem
'draws' in all thought
and 'sponges' into realms
imagined by those 'taunting' words
bards 'void'
__ Well, that sups! Smiles, _m
That poem didn't suck at all (smiles)
DeleteWell, this stinks.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I had a clothespin on my nose as I was writing it.
DeleteI love the childlike voice in this poem and the boyish humour, although some of the sarcasm is quite sharp. But who is Don Rickles?
ReplyDeleteYou must be quite young, Kim, not to remember him !
DeleteSubtle way to get a message across.
ReplyDeleteI am nothing if not subtle.
DeleteSeriously, tell us how you really feel! :)
ReplyDeleteToo coy for that!
DeleteBetween the lines and in the lines. A joker is at play.
ReplyDeleteJokers are wild in my game!
DeleteWell, someone had to say it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm happy to be the one.
DeleteSo catty.
ReplyDeleteHa ha--thanks!
