Garage Sale Special

For sale a bunch of fine unused words, many misspelled
Poet can’t uses them; mind is on strike, the pen has been stilled

These words never used for they never quite seemed to fit
Got them online; advertisement said they were a complete poetry kit

Can’t send them back because I did use a few; the remainder unused
Selling at half price; many are funny words which will leave you amused

Wow, mister you're an unrivalled master.... Weaving everyday words into amusing tales.. Great unique style, fantastic spin in this tale.. Love reading and can't stop smiling your tales.. Especially the tongue in cheek We Are Number One! Do keep 'em coming.... keep 'em coming..!

Thank you so much for the kind word you have written on several of my writes because they truly mean a lot to me. I have not written much for the last several months as my mind no longer functions as it once did mostly I believe due to medications which I think that my muse must also be on.

Donald, I liked your poem. Very creative and full of humor. I'll buy your left over funny words! You might like my poem "Playing with Words" :)

How rewarding it is to hear that you have read almost all that I have posted! I've only been here such a short time and you honor me in this way! Thank you. I joined for the specific reason to share my poetry with others. That makes me happy. Someone invited me to join a contest. I don't remember who. But I am not professional poet. I don't know most of the types, except rhymes and free verse. I just write what I feel. I wouldn't stand a chance against other poets who know what they are doing.
