THREE WORD WEDNESDAY
Slang words this week
'conniption, janky, scooch'
SLANGING MATCH!
When I woke up this-morning
And made an attempt to blog,
I found the computer had problems
(Maybe a minor cog!)
Well, I had a conniption fit right there!
How dare it be so janky!
What a way to start the day!
My! Did I feel cranky!
I fiddled here, I fiddled there,
Much fortified by gin!
And in the end I took it
And kicked it in the bin!
'Scooch!' I yelled, with vehemence;
'Get going! On your way!'
*
So that is why I cannot write
A poem for today!

WINTER SUNSHINE
Cold sand; cool water.
Holiday homes, empty for Winter,
Cast long shadows on the beach.

So funny! And yep - we were definitely on the same wavelength today!
Gin always helps. Great use of the words.

the computer was definitely no match for you. funny and entertaining. nice work with the 3WW slang.
"cast long shadows..." somehow seems peaceful and sad at the same time. Very nice poem.
SLANGING MATCH: Ooops.. the poem processing machine went on strike..!!!
