Line Gauthier Poet Rhyme

Downtown Blues

Scalding hot
The melting pot
City slickers
With knotted knickers
Traffic jams
Slaughter of lambs
Put up a fight
Speed of light
Amidst the rat race
Within reach a can of mace
Keeping up
Got bumped up
Then retired
Just got too tired

M. L. Kiser March 8, 2019 at 10:08 AM Whew! I am exhausted now; no wonder you're tired. Great one! Line Gauthier March 8, 2019 at 10:47 AM Not missing the rat race for a second.

Caren Krutsinger March 7, 2019 at 5:38 AM Line, downtown blues happen daily for me on the way to work when thousands of commuters have to get through one tiny strip of road to go under the one laned underpass from three lanes. It is a nightmare. Which is why I leave home an hour too soon. Less of the others. Line Gauthier March 7, 2019 at 9:01 AM Glad you found a way to get around it, Caren.

Timothy Mcguire March 7, 2019 at 1:06 AM I'm right there too, three more years. I like the line "knotted Knickers" I don't think I would like knotted knickers but I like the line! Line Gauthier March 7, 2019 at 1:32 AM Ever hear the expression "Don't get your knickers in a knot"? LOL
