Dreaming of Lunar Craters

For a contest by Catie Lindsey called: Wacky Weekend Challenge Where the objective is to use a given set of Wacky words. Thanks Catie!! Dire Straits had a gig at the convention center and a UFO flew across the arena. The band members and aliens were all wearing hot pink spandex boxer shorts, which took me back to the eighties for a quick trip. The band sponsored a wine and dine with a few finger food, tid bits after the concert. My friends and Rosie Hammond, a vacuum salesman decided we would go to the party. After wine and my pain medicine, I was drifting between insomnia and dreaming about nuclear waste in the lunar craters. I knew I should go to the kitchen for a cup of Joe and I met "Pinky" the alien creating art from a plank with worm holes, a fossilized beauty. Pinky had to be home due to his curfew and as he flew over us in the UFO, he threw out listerine soaked tissue right into my drink!! I decided to call it a night...

This smacks of the theatre of the bsurd, butit is flighty and wacky, so... That last line is subtle, yet snaps memorable. Regards, Gerard

Good job, that's a tough nut to crack. I had a hard time fitting all of those words in my poem about Green Fruit Loops.

This wild poem was hilarious, Doris! To answer your question (since I can't get the site mail to work), The Whitney was invented back in the '50's by Betty Ann Whitney, a poet from California. I am also self-taught, as are most poets, as we learn from experience. Thanks very much for your kind comments on my poetry. Your own poetry is well expressed and a pleasure to read. Carl.
