Wicked Good
April 13, 2018
the other day
to buy myself
a purpose
the man behind
the counter culture
quipped
a price
That will cost you
a lash
and
a snot
to which I replied
you are purring down the right mushroom!
So I paid
in cash
on the spot
NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2018 - Day 13
Based on the prompt to write a poem in which the words or meaning of a familiar phrase get up-ended
an arm and a leg
barking up the wrong tree
an arm and a leg
barking up the wrong tree

I love it! Made me laugh out loud. The odd expressions added to the friendliness of the banter and you could image the two of you smiling as you went back and forth. Also loved that you referenced Massachusetts, Wicked Good and Lil' Peach. Made it feel like you were at home, talking with a good friend or at least a store owner you have know for many years.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am so glad you "got it"!
