Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Aftertaste

Thanks Mum, that meal was a nice tasty dish
But no one will say if my breath smells of fish
I ask them but no-one will tell me the truth
Not even the seagull that’s sat on the roof
It’s only you, Mum, that I can rely on.
Son, she said grinning, you’re a sea lion

Tom Cunningham April 17, 2021 at 2:57 PM Lol, dont mind a bit of fish breath, its garlic breath that turns my nose up. I must be a vampire. Hope your weekend is going well Terry Tom Terry Flood April 17, 2021 at 3:11 PM Hi Tom... started out as a walrus, that wasn’t gonna work. So I waved my magic wand and the walrus became a sea lion. Enjoy your weekend too, Tom. Terry
