Notes About The Poem

Electric Locution

A little low-voltage humor in monoku form depicting a fictional day at the Watt home...

The electrical engineer's wife greets him:    "WIRE you INSULATE?"

Husband: WATTS it to you? Don't go blowing your CIRCUITS      at least I'm OHM!

Wife: "Don't you make LIGHT of this      if this were our daughter, you'd be GROUNDED!"

Husband: "Let's leave her out of this      she can CONDUCTOR own business"

Wife: "Don't revAMP your story      you know it reVOLTS me when you do that"

Husband: "Honey, I'm sorry it HERTZ      just trying to keep you CURRENT"

Wife: "Well, I apologize for my RESISTANCE       I felt POWERless"

Husband: "I didn't mean to give you STATIC     but I'm feeling the SPARK now

    Let's go enjoy an ELO concert     it will be a good OUTLET"

Wife: "JOULE be SHOCKed to hear this...       that would really reCHARGE my BATTERIES

      You sure know how to flip my SWITCH     we should do this with more FREQUENCY"

Husband, now whispering to the viewer     "I just can't RESISTOR charm"
