We Flew the Coop

We meet with some friends once a week One couple makes war when they speak He can’t do what’s right She starts a big fight Our dinners with friends end up bleak! This happens a lot I must say Each time we go out we all pray These two will keep still Not each other kill And ruin our fantastic day! Last time we went out with this group The waitress came by with our soup Our friend with a snap Poured it on his lap Embarrassed we all flew the coop! Sandra M.

Oh goodness !!! I remember once going on a two-family camping trip when we were first married, and the other couple had a big fight. (They didn't stay married long.........and we too, flew the coop / group !! ) Life can be stranger than fiction !! Great poem for the contest....congratulations !!

haha. I love how you told it limerick style. I have three "situations" in my mind for this contest. I am trying to decide between mentioning all three or just focusing on one. I think limerick would only work by focusing on one, but maybe another form of poetry could do for all three stories. thanks for what you said about my enjambment. It's the very thing our judge did NOT like about my poem!!
