Sand Blown Poet Haiku

Puffing and Joking

'you will live to be...
one hundred years...and three months'...
said seer groucho marx...

(and why the three months...
your wide eyes ask so brightly...
so no sudden death...)

Sherry Asbury November 24, 2018 at 2:31 AM You have a witty mind. I love haiku and really enjoyed this! Sand Blown November 24, 2018 at 2:48 AM thank you sherry...since reading poe and shakespeare as a kid it always seemed best to greet death with a smile

Gershon Wolf November 14, 2018 at 3:03 PM Cute and clever. I can just picture Groucho's eyebrows and cigar going up and down in unison saying this---and the smirk on his face, as well. Bullseye! ~ Gershon Sand Blown November 14, 2018 at 7:59 PM thanks man...the marx brothers and laurel and hardy are oldt favorites (mainly laurel and hardy though)
