Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

Wish I Had a Large Pink Eraser

I wish I had a large pink magic eraser.
Jill gave me a mean look a few seconds ago.
So now I will erase her.

I begin at her feet, working my way up.
She is disappearing in swishes and slashes.
Her diabolical smile is the last thing I see.

My erasing is fierce now, as I erase that off her face.
As I rub her out entirely, I remember why I started
Cartooning a few years back.

L Milton Hankins May 26, 2021 at 2:14 PM Oh, ho, the great revenge. I can think of so many back in school I would have liked to erase--the bullies, the sports jocks, the jerks, the BMOCs. Everything would have been much more peaceful. I wouldn't have dreaded going to school every day.
