Titillating Experience

Mom caught her boob in the washer’s wringer
Rotor made Mom an opera singer
    Tit for tat, she got redder
     Pop struggled with the lever
I pulled the plug, was able to spring ‘er

Wow!  Mum is the word on this awful day
We don’t refer to this deed of foul play
     “Hah! Your Dad’s a dud," she cried
     As with pain pills she was plied
Now under the radar Pop stays away




*Entry for David William’s Palindrome Mad Contest
By Carolyn Devonshire

Palindrome Words:
Mom, boob, rotor,  tit, tat, redder, Pop, Wow, Mum, refer, deed, Hah!, Dad, dud, radar

Holy COW! Your mum's boosums have gotta hurt! Gotta switch washers--get a MAYTAG--they have a new safety feature that prevents the booby trap phenomenon! ... You are killing me today with your poetic humor! ....Save this one for a funny contest! I know it was underappreciated here. You are masterful at taking random words and making a masterpiece of them....I love your work dear lady! Love, GWendolen

Hi Carolyn - This is funny, but OUCH! I have been thinking about your poem after reading it a few days ago. My grandmother had a washer with a wringer and I used to watch her pull the clothes through when I was very young - so thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory of my grandmother that I hadn't thought of in years. - Gail
