Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Today - a Bit Rude

I’m not a great fan of metric
A system of which I am sceptic 
To the young it’s ethereal 
But I learned imperial
And so I still speak it...
Today

I went down to the hardware store
I’d better not go there no more
An eager young lady assistant 
Was maybe a little persistent
How can I help you...
Today 

I said I need ten eight inch nails 
She sure put the wind in my sails
The nails were near pulleys and winches 
And then she said how big’s eight inches
I’m not getting out...
Today

Charlotte Puddifoot February 15, 2021 at 11:15 AM lucky shop assistant that's what i say :) Terry Flood February 15, 2021 at 1:39 PM Thanks Charlotte. Sometimes when one of my ‘bit rude’ efforts gets zero reaction I wonder if I overstepped the mark. So thanks for dropping by. Terry
