The prompt for today at napowrimo.net -
This prompt challenges you to play around with the idea of overheard language. Now, write a poem that takes as its starting point something overheard that made you laugh, or something someone told you once that struck you as funny.
MY WIFE
Iambic pentameter she's not
You won't find a rhyming couplet under her bonnet
My wife lost ten pounds and she stayed there
Searching everywhere until the lights went out
Waiting at the till for her change perhaps
Went on a diet and lost a bit of weight maybe
How could she whatever was she thinking of
I wouldn't hang around there for too long big bird
After dark the ATM goes into robotic mode
Do you want to tell her or should I
I think she looks wonderful just the way she is
Who told you that she's clean out of money
She was beautiful before she lost all that weight
It's obvious the way she's scratching in her purse
You won't find a rhyming couplet under her bonnet
Iambic pentameter she's not
