Entry in Writer's Cramp for 1/12/20 |
This poem is entered in "The Writer's Cramp" . Besides the following, bolded, it should be in Comedy as a genre: slipping on ice thundersnow cancel lunch dead car battery sleeping Labrador The Smart Thing Should have known the day wouldn't be nice not unless you like slipping on ice the whipping wind still whines and blows the miserable treat of newly named thundersnow To cancel lunch would have been the smart thing if smart things were the songs we chose to sing Overstayed at the redundantly named Food Restaurant Factory led to a waiting, soon costing dead car battery It would be so nice to be toasty at home Our sleeping Labrador knew better than to roam on a day that was made to sleep in Best not to get dressed and begin a day so destined to be miserable trouble should have remained inside Labrador's bubble Dogs, and even cows, are so much smarter, you see They know always home or inside a barn is the best place to be Pull the covers up, go back to sleep Make excuses, our safety to keep or go out in the miserable weather canines and bovines would surely know better 20 Lines |
