Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Tokyo Blues

Welcome to Japan where an Uber costs
two hundred dollars and a can of Spam.
Tokyo — all my pockets it exhausts.
My plane’s just arrived and I’m in a jam.

I turn the spindle and it cuts me — ouch!
I miss the lights and the tree and my wife.
A limo would have taken half my pouch.
I miss her long arms and I miss my life.

Funom Makama December 7, 2018 at 9:57 AM Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful and as always, your pen writes in the language of kings through a naturally flowing ink. Kim Rodrigues December 7, 2018 at 10:01 AM You are always so uplifting, my friend! Blessings to you and yours!

Caren Krutsinger December 6, 2018 at 1:02 AM My son-in-law went to Japan. He says it is beautiful, but way too expensive. My husband went once, but did not leave the hotel for fear of becoming stranded without a million dollars in his pocket. Kim Rodrigues December 6, 2018 at 6:36 AM I guess one of my husband’s coworkers had the same thing happen so he is not alone.

M. L. Kiser December 5, 2018 at 7:05 AM Whew! There's a costly trip...no wonder one is blue. Kim Rodrigues December 5, 2018 at 7:13 AM Doesn’t help! Hopefully he will get things straightened out!
