Robert Pettit Poet Nonet

The Un-Welcome Mat

I 
Do not
Want to hear 
Your sales pitches.
I need no brushes.
I do not eat cookies.
I donated blood last week.
I have a good vacuum cleaner.
I have no time to read magazines.
Please do not tell me your religion.
Do I look like I wear makeup?
I have an alarm system.
You do not need my vote.
I just cut the grass.
I do not smoke.
So you can
Just get 
Lost.

This is a double nonet

Michelle Mac Donald January 28, 2011 at 10:29 AM Wow...I'd read the title to this nonet, but then had to run off, but the title made me think of all sorts of "Un-Welcome Mats" one could create.:) "get Lost" would do the trick, I suppose. Best to you, Mikki
