Michael Degenhardt Poet Rhyme

Swallowing Spit

Some say a tad disgusting
Some say it may be gross
Some say it’s not appealing
But spit is good on toast (LOL)
Not trying to be vulgar
Though disgusting it may be
But spit that’s swallowed through a straw
Was more than enough for me
While watching American Idol
Some guy took Paula’s cup
And proceeded to take her straw
To drink her water up
I thought it was so funny
There was humor there in it
But think for now, would you please
Would you swallow someone’s spit?

January 22, 2009 at 12:21 PM A bit gross but funny just the same. I couldn't resist reading this after seeing the title. And no, I wouldn't swallow someone else's spit. Thanks for giving me a chance to chuckle and for your kind comment on my poem. Keep on writing! Karen
