Notes About The Poem

Image credit:  "Taureaux en grève" ("Bulls on strike") by Miki de Goodaboom

Moisturizing Matador

A well-groomed matador José
Liked to moisturize with Oil of Olay
His hands lost their grip
The cape it did slip
He was gored as he cried out "¡Olé!"

Hello Mark, your poem is cute. I smiled as I read it. it must be confusing for your daughter-in- laws when the family is altogether. How do they know which one is being spoken to? Enjoyed your poem. Have a nice day my friend.

Darlene, I was going for smiles, so I'm glad to hear it's working. Thanks for asking about my daughters-in-law. Each Carla is wonderful, and both live far away. So when the family is together, there is no confusion because I want them both to respond :)
