Notes About The Poem

8/6/2026 for Get a Room Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Get a Room

An amorous couple in the park
canoodled on the grass for a lark.  
"All I hear is 'boom boom'. 
Why don't you get a room?",  
a flattened ant was heard to remark.

Congrats on your podium finish. That couple will definitely get a room next time if they roll over onto the ant hill.

They got more than a few ants in their pants - which suddenly ended love and romance - they scratched till they bled - so let it be said - if you must take a chance, just go and dance… Beryl
