Day One

Day one I showed up ready to start working at Der Wienerschnitzel. My first day was my last day. The trainer was a *wiener! *slang for a jerk (True story from my youth for Linda's Day One Poetry Contest)

Andrea - Yes, as far as I know all of the lines in the 'Twisted Thoughts' AND the 'Commercial Slam' series are my own creation...Of course, I would NEVER knowing plagerize!...On some I went to the internet just to make sure...Now you've got me wondering, so my plan is to do all of them now and of course, if I find anything, I will delete and issue an apology...I am going to go ahead and delete the food one now, and if I find it's all my own, repost in 3 parts as you suggested

I may go ahead and delete all of them because it's not really poetry and doesn't belong on a poetry site

Andrea; This is good. I too had a one day job when I was young. I was not tall enough. I had to be on my toes all day, so I didn't go back. Good luck in the contest..... Lucilla

An adorably funny tanka - and based on a true story, no less! I love the way your mind works, lady! Thank you so much for your encouraging comments. You're right about the "stretched" couplets in my pawn shop poem haha. Had to get creative with the line length in that one! :)
