Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Two-liners - Not for Contest

      It’s hard to get ahead in life
         ~ when your feet are on backward


      They say laughter is the best medicine
          ~ but ‘they’ never had broken ribs


      Peter Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers
          ~ What an idiot!


      Weep no more, my lady
          ~ Ladies are so 19th century
   


      ~ Inspired by Rick Parise's contest ~

Kim Rodrigues March 25, 2025 at 5:59 PM Peter Piper…cracked me up…or was that just the ribs. So in truth, my legs been having trouble, then I try to carry something too heavy (my boss used to say…don’t be a hero. Oh yeah, burned my hand with boiling water. That night…last night, I told my husband I wanted to roll up into a ball in the corner…today, I soldier on…lol Kim Rodrigues March 26, 2025 at 9:41 AM Good practice! Thanks for the reminderfulness too! Gershon Wolf March 25, 2025 at 9:15 PM Glad to hear you had a laugh or two from these, Kim...
