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?

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
