Notes About The Poem

Picture Prompt Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Phew! A Trunk Will Do!

There is a loo in south Baku
Where local dogs wait in a queue
They all go Dutch
Yet drink too much
They can’t resist a homemade brew.

In one sense Paul.' This could be labled a wash Out..? Yet indeed you trunacted it very well' And it reeks of originality also..' I hope all is Well with you? and with Malta.'

Thank you, Joe (and that place certainly "reeked"...hopefully frequent rainfalls solved the problem!) At the moment it's feast season here in Malta...saints & fireworks! // paul

Glad you enjoyed, dear Susan. Some humour is important in life; watching the same scene day on day off can become boring. I see you have been busy writing and winning trophies; keep up the good work, my friend. Warm regards & hugs // paul
