Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

Were I a Sink

Were I a sink, I think I'd cry
   What people put down my drain
      ~ Oh, my!

Why, just today I looked up
   to dodge the drool of a doberman pup

And on the weekend you won't believe
   what partygoers tend to leave

Everything from nuts to cigar butts
   and bloody band-aids from their cuts
 
I 'm just so lucky to a mirror be
   Folks clean my glass to look at me

Lindsay Laurie February 24, 2020 at 9:09 PM G'day Gershon … and when the S-bend blocks, the trouble starts. What you mention blended with fat looks almost edible; but not for me - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf February 25, 2020 at 2:16 AM Opening soon: Edna's Edibles department of 'Bed, Bath and Beyond' --- mostly beyond!. Thanks, Lindsay. ~ Gershon

Sandra Adams February 24, 2020 at 8:30 PM lol...well at least you aren't a toilet... just imagine all that goes in there... a mirror is definitely something that some admire all the time... though I think some would like to leave it dirty so as not to see... what a hoot you are... :) hugs Gershon Wolf February 25, 2020 at 2:13 AM Yes, indeedy-do... I'm a hoot of an old coot. ~ Roaring away

Jean Bush February 24, 2020 at 7:40 PM Hahahahhahahahaha! Oh stop it, you're killing me. This is damn good. That Dobie pup must be really tall to dribble in the sink. Gershon Wolf February 25, 2020 at 2:15 AM Unlike Dobie Gillis, that Dobie pup. ~ gw
