Reason A. Poteet Poet Light Verse

Lights Come On

When my spouse gets into this décor thing,
you might as well forget about dinner.
Our backyard lighting is on the upswing
meanwhile, I’m getting thinner and thinner.

Beata Agustin September 24, 2021 at 1:43 AM Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this, and the chuckle it creates. God bless you. Reason A. Poteet September 24, 2021 at 10:24 AM Thanks, Beata, appreciate the read. Hungry husband needs to go to Hardee's and pick up some supper for both of them.

Andrea Dietrich September 23, 2021 at 3:25 PM I would never let it interfere with MY dinner. hahaha. GREAT job, and congrats Reason A. Poteet September 23, 2021 at 7:11 PM It has happened to me when writing. Hunger for food is replaced by hunger for that next line, rhyme, or other device. Too preoccupied to eat - unfortunately it doesn't happen often enough to affect my poundage. THanks Andrea.
