Terry Flood Poet Monorhyme

Cat-Ash-Trophic Monorhyme

I’ve got a massive bag of cash
I found it lying in my trash
And though it seems a little rash
I bought a car that’s proper flash

But then a man that had a gash
From his lip, through his moustache
And ending by his left eyelash
Told me that he wants his stash

The tattoo on his head said ‘SMASH!’
His fist was raised and set to bash
I tried to make a rapid dash
But tripped and came down with a crash

He had a gas can, splash, splash, splash
His aim I’d have to call mish mash 
He soaked himself, oh, what a hash
I flicked a match and now he’s ash

William Kelii Kekaula August 20, 2021 at 8:48 PM Hilarity courses as this rime raise an earthy feel, levity assured, up to its end 'bout the ABCs of life. Thanks, Terry, for sharing your stock in comical talents, Aloha! Terry Flood August 21, 2021 at 12:38 PM Thanks William. And thanks for my place. Terry

Emilia James August 19, 2021 at 2:29 AM Lol this is really funny and for some reason reminded me of Minder. Good luck in the contest Terry, a winner in my book.

Tom Cunningham August 18, 2021 at 7:29 AM Lol this is a hoot Terry, good riddance to the man with the gash. Tom Terry Flood August 18, 2021 at 9:00 AM Thanks, Tom. First thing I’ve written in nigh on a week... seemed to have lost the funny. So I’m glad to get this one written. Also been trying (yet again) to get to grips with this self publishing malarkey. Everyone says it’s easy but I just sit and scratch my head. Trying with my first 22 year old novel to see how it goes. Terry
