Terry Flood Poet Couplet

Mono-Rhyme In E

Got tired of watching MTV
It’s now World News from BBC

I’m watching with an OAP
Who thinks I’m with the KGB

I think that she has OCD
Is that a case for A&E

Then I discovered... OMG
Her cell phone is PAYG

Can someone pass the TNT
Or get me to an SUV

I think I need a KFC
Which might soon mean an ECG

But if I get a DVT
Then show a little TLC

And bring a portable TV
Perhaps even a DVD

Get one with a USP
And pay for it with USD

But if your high on LSD 
Watch out I’m NYPD

Juliet Ligon April 12, 2021 at 7:54 AM I bet it was difficult to come up with all those mono-rhymes and put them together into a poem that flows. Congratulations!

Krish Radhakrishna March 19, 2021 at 3:52 AM This is just superb!! I could not get myself to write anything because I could not work out acronyms! I am going to support this one for a top win!! well done!! Terry Flood March 19, 2021 at 4:56 AM Thank you Krish.
