Suddenly my own poem came flipping out of my mind.
She skidded down my nose and skipped onto the page, slip slappy.
I watched her progress; sh...

I throw myself onto a wet slip and slide without a care.

A slipped disc? No worries. Cowslip m...

...Walking my tiger home...
As I do after we roam...the countryside where we play and hide
I sometimes stare at his stripes of orange and black...
He then extends his arm and gives me a playful whack...

though will admit that we had a little spat.
I used Pine Sol, and he wasn’t really happy,
