Leaf-Stroke Lessons


       Doing the leaf-stroke
       across my pool
         I spit
          I sputter
           I choke

        on wet wintry appetizers

Must be that machine that catches the pool debris. Stay away from that beast. He might swallow you like Jonah’s whale…what a crazy tale that would be. Crazier than being swallowed and spit up on land?! lol. Like this one a lot! Fave
