Terry Flood Poet Couplet

Vegicide

Suggesting a new plant based diet
She’d leave me if I didn’t try it

In that quarrel she was the winner
So that evening I cooked the dinner

The table was laid and the soup that I’d made
Was Hemlock and Deadly Nightshade

Lindsay Laurie January 25, 2022 at 3:01 PM Hello Terry ... Shakespeare would be proud of your choices, especially Hemlock - thank you Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood January 25, 2022 at 5:51 PM Used to meet that fella down the club… but he was bard. Thanks Lindsay. Terry

Jenna Logan January 20, 2022 at 11:46 AM With those ingredients, she left alright! Six feet under forever. Good humor, Terry. Terry Flood January 20, 2022 at 2:37 PM Thanks Jenna. This is the second time I’ve written about wives and hemlock… but I promise I’m not a homicidal maniac……. Anymore! Ha ha ha. Nice to hear from you. Terry

Rico Leffanta January 20, 2022 at 10:51 AM Remind her that vegetables cause really stinky farts (hemlock and nightshade blast the final one). Aloha! Terry Flood January 20, 2022 at 11:02 AM She had been suspicious that my soup (beef broth) was brown… I told her it was Mushroom… she doesn’t eat mushrooms… hence the soup! :-) Terry

L Milton Hankins January 19, 2022 at 12:30 PM Oh my, Terry. Do you think that's what she had planned for you if you were the winner? Terry Flood January 19, 2022 at 3:04 PM She would never harm me. She’s too busy with her new hobby… collecting apple pips!
