Saturday Afternoon Tale



Relaxing in a lawn chair on a Saturday afternoon
Just eating a jar of peanut butter with a greasy spoon
Wishing I had delicious lice to fill my hungry tummy
This peanut butter is making me feel kinda crummy

So off I go through the house, snooping all around
Hoping not to wake Uncle John by making any sound
He’d been out late and was passed out in his room
He went out with the ladies and smelled like perfume


So I snuck up behind him and looked through his hair
Hoping that he’d have a couple extra lice to spare
Suddenly there was a gaseous explosion from hell
Holy moly! Is that Uncle John’s fart that I smell?

Author notes

To write a poem based on a picture like that would be impossible to write something that wasn't funny. I'm not God and I can't do anything that is impossible. So I wrote a humorous poem.

    You need not apologize for anything. It was not you who took this young one from his parents.

    Your poem and the interpretation is priceless!!!!! I normally don't care for poems that have bodily functions in them, I thought this to be hillarious! You have such a wonderful imagination, and I loved this to pieces! I hope you win the gold on this one!!!!! Love and hugs, Patricia

I enjoyed reading it very much and I think that you did an excellent job of intepreting the picture that was sent to you. Thank you for entering my contest and good luck.

    Well Done

    Tim, you have no need to apologize for having to use the particular graphic you were given and wrote a humorus piece for it! we all understand that wild animals are sometimes treated in an unsavoury way, that does not mean that we do not have respect for them and their way of life. That you found humor in the graphic and decided to write about it, shows your skill of interpretation.
    I thoroughly enjoyed your effort, we all need to have a laugh and a smile in today's world, that does not mean we do not care about or have respect for wildlife of any kind.

    Well Done!

    Sorry you feel that way and that you didn't try to find the humor in the poem. Guess you didn't like it. I didn't have a choice in what picture I was given so I tried to make light of it anyways. It was a tough picture to write a poem about. Once again I apologize

    sure, as a poem it may be funny, but to me, the sight of a baby Urang snatched from the wild (they usually kill the mothers)and dressed in human clothes is pretty much sad.

    I didn't know what to write when I first saw the picture, but then I thought of this idea and it made me laugh so I figured I'd try to get it down. Actually, I almost have a picture of me that looks exactly like that Thanks for your commet, though!
