W T F

W T F Let’s imagine somebody naive as they can be. What might they imagine when WTF they see? For someone on a diet could it mean “Withhold the Fat?” “Wash the Fridge” perhaps? My mom would think of that! A girl into clothing could suppose WTF means “Wear Trendy Fashion.” “Wear Tight Footwear” no one though could think and have compassion. “Wash Tired Feet” might someone think? Or “Warm the Feet” after time in snow? “Wrap the Fracture.” Is that done? I’m not sure that I know! “Warm the Furnace”? That sounds lame. “Woo The Folks” could be a slogan for politicians who can’t get to ME! “Whack the Fiend.” I like that. And “Whack the Fibber,” but “What‘s the fuss?” sounds better. than “Walk the Feline”. . . . What? “Whip the Flesh” works for sadists. Could “Wave the Fists” sound cool? I like “Welcome Tiny Folks” for a nursery school. Just a few more. How about “Wake the Family”? Watch the Fuel” also works in this economy. Finally, when I think of N/A’s from a judge, if I feel my poem is really good, I murmur “What the (bleeping bleeping) Fudge.”

Andrea, this is SO creative, entertaining, and descriptive. If I piled up all my NA's, a champion hurdle jumper couldn't sail over them! Janice

Lol Andrea. This is quite different for you I'd say. I thought of the mundane days of the week actually Wednesday, Thursday, Friday..

Yay wow yeahh you've given far better meanings to the popular slang cussing acronym and whip or whack the fiend is still better than an abbrev that people can't even spell out in full. Kudos for a fine cool poem! >>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<^^^^^^^^>>>>>>>><<<<<< Plz also read and comment my newest poem too.

Great. You can think of all such funny things out of WTF. I did not had a clue, Andrea, seems like a winner.

It truly takes a poetic mind to unpack all the things those letters could stand for, as opposed to the vulgarity it is typically used for. Great job on unpacking all the creative and squeaky clean ways those letters can be used.
