madam I'm on the level
the sagas of the sexes
would be much better
if we were all solos
on the sea in a kayak
of our own at noon
the civic centre has a play
in Malayalam where deified
characters take off the rotor
sounds long like a minim
and hardly a peep from the pup
who is redder in the eye than you
this deed of yours is a reviver
of an ancient tenet in which
a ewe is used to refer to you
madam
That's great, funny!
ReplyDeletewow, Susan! :)
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDelete22 words not counting 'a' and counting madam twice - an amazing list of words when you actually type them out in order of appearance. It's inexplicable to me, looking at the words in isolation, how you achieved this, Susan. Brava!
ReplyDeleteI mean the achievement of the poem, not the words in isolation...
DeleteI didn't count a, but would have counted aa. It's fun to get a lst of words and make a poem. It makes you use words you usually don't use.
