Andrea Dietrich Poet Couplet

The Fake and the Phat

His picture was fake, but she was truly PHAT,
Liking her, he messaged her to chat back ASAP.

While chatting, she was shown the guy's true image: “WTH?”
she texted back to her gal pal, throwing in - SMH.

Acting all nice, she told the guy, “BRB.”
Privately she was wearing a BEG.

He believed for a short while that the girl was simply AFK.
Instead that PHAT ended up completely MIA.

for the Acronyms In Couplets Poetry Contest of L. Milton Hankins

PHAT = Pretty hot and tempting
ASAP = As soon as possible
WTH = What the heck?
SMH= Shaking my head
BRB = Be right back
BEG= Big evil grin
AFK= Away from keyboard
MIA = Missing in action
(I tried to match syllable counts per individiual couplet pairings, with the PHAT of the last line counting as four distinct syllables)

Carolyn Devonshire March 26, 2021 at 10:14 AM People sometimes do post phony photos when looking for dates. When I sent a photo of one fella to a friend, she told me, "That's not a dater; that's Antonio Banderas." It was! Love the way you use all the acronyms. Milton should like this one. Best wishes in the contest! Hugs, Carolyn
