Where is my calender?
I don't know the day that I
am supposed to get my car back,
I need it to move.
I am being pushed out into
the streets,
I don't have the money to pay my bills.
I just lost my job...
I was a dishwasher at the
joint on west 19Th.
I was the best at
scrubbing those pots and pans!
But I must have missed some
every now and then.
So my landlord took it upon himself to
relieve me of my burdensome belongings,
but left all the mess
on my unswept floors.
While leaving, on my way out,
I found my pet fly!
Or his container anyway...
So now
me and my buddies
Joe and Hermon,
we burn trash in cans to stay warm
lighting them with still burning
cigarettes left in nearby ashtrays.
What a way to live...
Author notes
Yeah, I enjoy trying to use as many words in such lists as I can.
To challenge myself.
I think I might have done beter, but I unfortunatly am pretty tired right now.
But yeah, 'Evicted'
pretty interesting concept.
OH!
And for note, I have actually owned a pet fly,
SUPERFLY he was named.
lived two and a half whole weeks.
would have lived longer but,
someone thought it was funny to toss a bee in his container with him and he kind of got stung.
So that was the end of superfly.
ANYWHO!!!
I hope you like it, and goodluck to everyone else in the contest ^_^
