Burnt Out Retinas

Yeah the tongue helps
am tryin’ to concentrate
paws flyin’ over keys
mind alert and thinkin’
this emailin’ thingy is fun
cyber space chat rooms
inbuilt cameras can see all
but dog do our eyes a favour
close ya legs or cross ‘em over
way too much information your exposin’….

    This is a funny write, just the humor I needed to get me going today, putting a smile on my face. Well done my Bandit friend Write On!

    You have been Hoodwinked by your Poetic Bandit Family because WE CARE!

    God Bless

    Hoodwinked

    The ending was unexpected and so cute. I am a sucker for pictures of dogs and cats doing human things and this one was no exception. Your short verse is the perfect accompaniment and brought a smile to my face. Since you used the expression "bugger" I am guessing you are not American, but I will wish you a thankful day nonetheless. Peace, Liz

  • HOODWINKED!

    This is so adorable. I'm so glad you posted the contest link 'cause I was a bit bewildered until I saw those pixs! Too bad your entry didn't make it in...it's a winner! Thanks for the big smile this T Day.
    Don't you hate it when you write a poem for a closed contest? It's happened to me too often to admit.

    Yup, can sure understand where this is coming from - lol. Some just seem to share way too much - things we don't need or want to see. Liked the flow, the humor in these lines. Easy to read and understand as well. Remember seeing this contest picture and wondering what one could write. This is priceless. Good take on the prompt.

    I have enjoyed the reading of "Burnt Out Retinas" for its hilarious and serious contents; and for its poetic uniqueness.
