Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

A Day of Misfortune

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.

Beryl Edmonds August 3, 2021 at 3:15 PM 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 Sotto Poet August 3, 2021 at 5:11 PM 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.

Alexis Y. August 2, 2021 at 12:30 AM 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
