Notes About The Poem

 

 

A Swishing Swapping Party

Let us have a swapping party		
I’m not placing any bets;		
This could be so eco-friendly		
Money saved and no regrets!		

We can try a bit of swishing		
Let us have a swapping party		
Unlike shopping no guilt feeling	
Choices range from prude to tarty.	

One more chance we give to clothing		
It’s recycling at its best			
Let us have a swapping party			
Put emotions to the test.			

Friends can meet and share some gossip	
In good faith; the talk is hearty;		
Bring whatever for exchanging		
Let us have a swapping party.			

And next time we’ll make it arty!		
Bring your partners – touch of sultry.		
Let us have a swapping party!

Hi Susan...I believe in 'all work and no play...' so I give my muse permission to play and enjoy herself when need be:) You are right...I often catch myself frowning or grinning while writing, according to the mood!! Thank you for your pleasant comments and support, my friend. ~ Warm regards & Hugs // paul

An amusing poem Paul and an excellent idea! Could be naughty could be nice, full of speculation, and a touch of spice! Warm wishes, Jennifeer.

What a great laugh I had at the end! Naughty, Paul, but nice as well. I'd love to swap with anyone who needs clothes or jewelry. In New England, there is a gift swap at Christmas and people get the oddest things. Your poem is a delight to read! Love, Carolyn

Glad you enjoyed it and it made you smile, Carolyn:) Recycling clothes makes sense, as long as they are in good condition. Over here we donate our good clothes to immigrants who turn up on our shores empty-handed. ~ Love & hugs // paul

LOL and most men be happy to see women in no clothes, simply to save money!!! LOL

Hi Jan...from what I've heard most clothing is just about brand new....many women do not want to be seen in the same clothes more than once, lol! ~ By the way, yesterday went to watch "The Nutcracker & the Four Realms"...enjoyed by all:) Hugs // paul
