Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Hand Made Duffy

Just what would come to mind
           should I write Hand Made Duffy
Would candy be the thing
             or something round and fluffy

Well maybe it’s a chair
                           or maybe it is plural
It may be found on city streets
                             or maybe it is rural

Yes, that’s the thing with words
           just who decides their meaning
It happened long ago
      toward new thoughts, I am leaning

So tell me what you think
                       let out your inner Duffy
Don’t get it in your eyes
                they may turn red and puffy

Gershon Wolf April 30, 2023 at 8:43 PM Duffy and Daffy went out to play// Kissed two boys, who both ran away// Daffy said to Duffy, 'Going my way?' // Duffy said 'Yes,' but 'I charge,' 'You'll pay!' ~ Redefining Duffy Mike Gentile May 1, 2023 at 10:40 AM Daddy is as Duffy does!! Good one GW!!!

Alexis Y. April 30, 2023 at 12:31 PM Lol! Mike, I enjoyed your fun write. I agree, one word has several meanings. I don't know what “ Duffy” means, but based on what you wrote, it sounds like something I may want, I think. But I’ll be sure to put on some shades when I’m handling it or letting it out lol! Have a nice day-Alexis

Tom Cunningham April 30, 2023 at 8:26 AM Lol they say you learn something new everyday Mike, how true that is. I put my hands up, I've never heard that expression before. I'm off to search for my inner Duffy Hope your weekend is going well. Tom Mike Gentile April 30, 2023 at 9:50 AM Let know what you find Tom!! Happy Sunday!

Jennifer Proxenos April 30, 2023 at 7:08 AM Oh my goodness me was it a rabbit or a duck,, for that would be rural, but then towards new thoughts I will also lean, you went into a shop that sells materials, bought two metres of fluffy material, went to someone who sews with your jacket and hey presto she made for you 'A Handmade Duffy'! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Mike Gentile April 30, 2023 at 9:50 AM That could be Jennifer, good one!!! Happy Sunday xxoo

Lin Lane April 30, 2023 at 6:59 AM That's an expression I've never heard, Mike. I have an aversion to red puffy eyes. Only in matters of the heart do I have need of tissues. Another soup mail for you. Mike Gentile April 30, 2023 at 9:49 AM Sometimes it's good to just be silly!!! Happy Sunday!
