Paul Callus Poet Light Verse

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!

Carolyn Devonshire December 3, 2018 at 8:09 PM 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 Paul Callus December 5, 2018 at 9:50 AM 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
