Michelle Mac Donald Poet Couplet

Calamity the Uppity Clam-1

I found myself within a shell
Upon an oyster bed.
A wayward clam stuck out his foot
And struck me on the head.

Hit by this sea of insight
Pearls of wisdom, so to speak:
If  barnacles grow on your backside
That clam'll think you’re a geek.

Daver Austin March 26, 2013 at 7:53 AM Do clams have feet? Well, they must, but they also must be very small feet. I suspicion you barely felt the blow because you were plastered. You must stop this drinking, Mikki. Love your imagination. Hugs, daver

Terry O'Leary November 27, 2012 at 2:49 AM Mikki, you mentioned your 'Calamity' work... so I've come to look! This is certainly very funny... I didn't realize that clams might be interested in my backside...in any case, I'll be on guard during my next stay at the oceanside! Terry
