Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Smile

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight

-Phyllis Diller


Diller looks hilarious, yet she is shrewd.
gaudy shapeless wardrobe not subdued.
long and straight from lips, meanwhile -
smoke holder is vile.
Phyll’s snapshot:
SMILE.
flowerpot
on top of profile,
tremendous garden fertile:
gargoyle unkempt hair, turns up the mood.
Diller looks hilarious, yet she is shrewd.

Gershon Wolf January 21, 2023 at 7:43 PM Ooo. Wickedly well-done, Phyllis. She was my favorite female comedian. I always loved her line about housework: "They say housework might kill you. So why should I be the one to find out?!" Cheers, gw Kim Rodrigues January 22, 2023 at 11:05 AM LOL! Love these old-fashioned icons that took on a certain persona and dressed the part! She was lots of fun! Thanks, Gershon!
