Shit. Excuse Expletive

Shit. Excuse Expletive

 

Shit. Excuse expletive

Standing in the shower

Verse from heaven falls down

Gem. A little flower

 

Shit. Excuse expletive

Rubbing bod with soap

Hanging on to flower

Tied it with a rope

 

Shit. Excuse expletive

Hopping out the shower

Hanging on so preciously

To my little flower

 

Shit. Excuse expletive

Towelling outer/unner

Now where's my little flower ?

Shit. She's done a runner

 

Don Matthews June 2018

 

PostScript

I did eventually capture my little runaway. She's now captured in a poem. No escape.

Poetry for effect and effective for that reason Don. Bit too clever for me, but a cross dresser waving a knife would have set it on fire. Sorry, can't deal with showers any more.

When are we going to hear the little flower then Don? Hope it was a flower and not a weed in disguise. (lol)

It's interesting. I was saying shit to myself but apologising to you for having to read it. The line had a 'nice' ring to it, hence repeated, and left a continuing puzzle, the meaning of which only came to light in the last line reveal.

BTW A true story

D ?
