Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Revving Up

Wrinkled shirt in the sink
  Cups in the bathtub -- clink, clink
Shoes in the freezer, under the meat
  Stockings in the fridge -- not to overheat

Fruit jammed into a narrow cupboard
  Veggies stuffed in a bureau, next to a sword
Drinks hurled into the fireplace, with a splash
  Flung with requisite verve, smashing glass

Ah, yes, the Inspector General's back
  Revving up his tour-de-force attack
If only one could bring back the great Danny Kaye
  Failing that, we'll settle for 'Mr. Groundhog' himself, Bill Murray

Caren Krutsinger June 5, 2021 at 5:33 AM I am going to try this today " Stockings in the fridge -- not to overheat" and maybe every day after today until November! Gershon Wolf June 5, 2021 at 8:54 PM You mean you haven't tried stockings in the fridge yet. I'm saving them for my next wedding day. ~ Cold feet

Judy Ball June 2, 2021 at 5:17 PM This is such a happy poem filled with good humor and a little bit of whimsey. A longing look back at the good ol' days . Loved it Gershon. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf June 2, 2021 at 9:21 PM Thank you so much, Judy! :) gw

Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2021 at 2:47 AM This has such a happy cadence! I find myself singing it flat out! Gershon Wolf June 2, 2021 at 9:21 PM Keep singing, Caren! ~ Shower Nozzle
