Kiss My Petunias

Kiss My Petunias Call yourself a poet Or is it poetess? Your so called poems a child could do Your work is such a mess. Hairy fairy rubbish, this what you write Under the guise of poetry Your words are such a fright You offer sickly sweet friendship What a joke that is You are like a white wine spritzer, but without the fizz But then your loving smile shines right off the page Your wonderful words of wisdom Give you credit as a sage Your compassion is overflowing, your intuition too I am amazed at all the wonderful selfless things that you do The time you spend on your family Makes you the envy of us all We know when there’s a problem, you are the one to call In fact your compassion is pure poetry So there is not finer poetess you are the one for me. Entry for Contest: Kiss my Petunias, sponsored by Vi Bombadieri Forgive me, dear lady but you asked for it...............I feel a real heel

:)Just call me Hanitra. It means scent or perfume. All malagasy names are the parents' lifelong projects, so...:) About this contest, I agree with you; I participated too: it's really tough stuff but interesting to see how far one can sometimes go on being rude...:) You did fine, equilibrating the two parts! I like your wit.
