Pool's Closed

triolet w/ zeugma Nervous wife holds her breath and the cell phone as her hubby’s patience and pool are drained. Neighborhood tempers are surely well-known, nervous wife holds her breath and the cell phone. Pesky locals thought the pool was their own, the water’s too cold or hot they complained. Nervous wife holds her breath and the cell phone as her hubby’s patience and pool are drained. for Sara Kendrick's Zeugma Contest 26 Aug 2014

Hi Reason...congratulations on an your win and excellent triolet which can boast of more than one zeugma. Patience is a virtue which does not belong to all!! // paul

Thank you Paul, the pool is drained of water while the virtue of patience is drained of selfish care. The one decreases as the other gets stronger. Patience has to be a gift from God; human nature does not know such. I appreciate your comment very much.

Thanks, Brenda, for the personal comment. Glad for any placement among the talent at PS. I rather enjoy being on the edge of familiarity here. It suits my purposes well. Have a great day browsing in and out of poetry.
