Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Accounting For Taste

Who can account for what we term taste
   and shouldn't it be just an opinion? 
Though then it might be just a tad debased
   ~ not free to take off, like a feathery pinion
 
You like dinner hot; your spouse likes it cold 
   When it comes to domiciles, can new ever beat old? 
Fashionistas may flash their provacative cloaks
   The older you get, the more you cover your spokes  

In the matter of make-up, less can be more
   Lest you earn your keep on the street as a whore  
For winter vacations, warm weather adds zest 
   While for ski-lovers and others, the Alps are the best  

In regards to teeth, though, I think this is the case
   to which all will agree ~ It helps to use paste

Sunlite Wanter February 10, 2019 at 10:14 AM You have quite a sense of humor. Enjoyed this so much! And....while I am about it, thank you so much for reading and commenting on my recent poems. Gershon Wolf February 10, 2019 at 3:39 PM Thank you so much, Sunlite! I am truly flattered...And I sense that you're ok with that humor too. I'm glad, as not everyone is (so ok with it). Appreciate your feedback. Best wishes, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger February 9, 2019 at 1:11 AM I am reading this in a sing-songy way, enjoying it totally when I got to theline about "earn your keep on the street as a whore" which stopped me in my tracks and made me laugh. An unexpected surprise like this usually does. Ending is hilarious now that I am older. Gershon Wolf February 9, 2019 at 9:07 PM Ha, ha! Thanks for your comment. (I'm trying to picture you as 'older.' To me, you are the eternally young energizer bunny) … and speaking of the ending, are you flossing too?! ~ Gershon Wolf, D.D.S. (Deranged, Ditzy Souper) :)
