A Play On Words - Live

A PLAY ON WORDS – LIVE The power failed on Thursday night. I was left completely in the dark.. So I rang an ELECTRICIAN To see WATT he could do His response wasn’t very POSITIVE; Because of the CURRENT crisis, he said He’d decided he would go to EARTH And stay OHM in INSULATION. Though he still got LIGHT exercise daily With a SHORT CIRCUIT round the park, He said he couldn’t visit me; The Covid rules wouldn’t allow it He put up a strong RESISTANCE Although I begged him to help, He was following government GRIDLINES And keeping his social distance. I tried to PYLON the agony, Pleading my old age in the MAIN, But his answer was still in the NEGATIVE, He said he would CONTACT me next year. I’d have to do the job myself. He was clearly in his ELEMENT It wasn’t his VOLT, he insisted He refused, so I RE-FUSED. 16th June 2021 Word Play Poems with Play on Words Raison D'etre poetry contest Sponsor - John Lawless
