Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Lunch Hour Redemption

A mercury-free tin of tuna fish
  bolted down, gagging all the way
To the accompaniment of gossipy lips
  a revolting noon hour this hot day

A walk inside COVID's masked prison
  did not appeal to me either
Tossed the tin in the can with a certain elan
  Farewell, tuna fish; unleashed, my inner Tarzan

Lindsay Laurie February 11, 2021 at 4:22 PM G’day Gershon … ah well, you might need to eat a couple of cloves of garlic to help your breath - good one Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf February 11, 2021 at 5:06 PM Gosh, I'm a one-clove-garlic man, Lindsay. Have been all my life. Think just one clove will clear out that tuna?! lol. Smiles, Gershon

Juliet Ligon February 10, 2021 at 3:56 PM I imagine your breath would be torture inside that mask. : ) Gershon Wolf February 10, 2021 at 5:47 PM Ha, ha, ha! You hit the jackpot with that comment, Julie: My breath outside the mask is even more torture. lol. Thanks, gw

Judy Ball February 10, 2021 at 12:34 PM Ahhhh eee ahhh! Cute one Gershon. I can picture you swinging through the trees, tuna sandwich in one hand with a determined look on your face. Go get 'em. God Bless my friend, JB Gershon Wolf February 10, 2021 at 5:44 PM That must be some picture you drummed up there, Judy! I'm about as much of a Tarzan as Greta Thornberg is. Take care, Gershon

Rico Leffanta February 10, 2021 at 12:07 PM Mercury-free, but what about the plastic/plastique lunch bombed? Aloha! Rico Gershon Wolf February 10, 2021 at 5:43 PM Well, I guess I was one out of two on the environmental watch there, Rico. Thanks, gw

Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2021 at 11:12 AM Well from now on I'll think of you as Tarzan because you tossed the tin in the can, with style and enthusiasm and bid the tuna fish farewell! You have pizzazz Mr. Wolf! Nice one my friend! Hugs and blessings,, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf February 10, 2021 at 5:42 PM Ha, ha! Thanks for the enthusiasm, Jennifer. The fizz in my pizzaz could use a little carbonation boost. (though I suppose that's bad for the environment). Cheers, gw
