Notes About The Poem

I'M a Fool - Aloof Am I For Palindromes Ii

I was driving with my friend Delia in my brand new Honda Civic
It was noon and we were on our way to see my Auntie, 
she’s my mum’s sister, we call her Evil Olive! 
Suddenly I swerve to avoid something in the road and skid on some dumb mud -
Was it a cat I saw?
Won’t I panic in a pit now?
Sadly last year there were ten animals I slam in a net.
I was distraught; I don’t want to step on no pets.

Delia saw I was ailed, do you need a drink she asked?
“Rum… rum…” I murmur.
Silly me, I redden, I mustn’t drink and drive
Delia takes over the wheel and pulls up at Walmart’s tram law
We get the trolley passing the fruit and veg, no lemons, no melon.
Oh drat! mom had asked me to take some fruit to Auntie Olive
I’m a vegan, ew eat a ewe -  eating meat; the thought is quite disgusting
I wonder when they are killed do geese see God?
I grab something for tea, Ya! Pizza zip pizazz! I pay.

Jan, I don't see how you do it, girl! You come up with the 'right stuff' all the time. I enjoy all the 'stuff' (lol) you write. It is an encouragement to me and you are my greatest critic. Without your sage advice, I would never make it. Congrats on your win!
