My cooler crocked, and my stove tragically burst. My roof fan has become unhinged from the thread. The dishwasher declined to start and had scent of burnt. A breaker in one of my divider stoves is dead. When I let one loose in the elevator As we hear a significant break, an aged lady arises. I advised her: not to be afraid crying isn't for senior. "My primary care physician thinks I look 20," she replies. Written: August 1st, 2021 When I Let One Loose In The Elevator Poetry Contest Sponsored by: charles messina

What a day you had Lasaad, on top of it all in the elevator an aged lady cried, you called her an elder so I’m not surprised. Very amusing, all the best… Belle

Ha, ha, thanks, Belle, for your kind words. By the way, I'm not that lordy, but it's just for the poem requirement: blessings and best regards.

Hi Lasaad, This is a good take on the contest theme. That was a day of misfortunate events to the max. Your last two lines in the second stanza gave me a chuckle. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great evening, my friend:-) Soupmail
