Notes About The Poem

The stoner Collaboration contest, Sponsored by Charles Messina.  The first two Stanza's are written by Charles Messina. 

The Stoner

I was sitting on the corner, stoned 
When out of the blue, my dead aunt phoned 
How could this be, she rests in peace 
Right beside my loving niece
 
I answered the phone, and my auntie said 
"I know you think that I am dead"  
"I'm alive"- my auntie moaned 
Or- could it be that you're just- "Stoned" 

I laughed in the phone, said “I know,
you like to haunt me wherever I go,
you may have died and lost a lung
but continue with your sharp tongue”

My aunt is still trying to make a point,
she never liked to see me smoke a joint.
She’s always was a Budweiser beer girl,
maybe I’ll stop grass and give Bud a whirl!

Your response to the prompt is so good, Tania. Some cute funny lines there. I really like this contest. Also I loved your haiku contest, one of my favorite poetry forms. Thanks for my placement.

this is the cutest of the funny ones I've read, and most lighthearted. Tight lines and rhyme flow enhance its contents. A winner here if it were up to me.
