Plastic Sturgeon ~*Marge Tindal*~  I had to write this poem at my best friend's urging He bet one hundred dollars I couldn't 'pen' a plastic sturgeon When it comes to changing mixing or re-arranging you'd have to be a moron to even begin to go on an escapade as burgeoning as finding a plastic sturgeon I needed inspiration so I set out to acquire the plastic sturgeon of my desire I checked out the local fishery Luck knew not my name In nets of the local Red Lobster the answer was the same On my way to defeat I chanced upon a sign YOU NEED IT - WE'VE GOT IT GARAGE SALE BEGINS AT NINE I browsed - I poked - I plundered When suddenly on the shelf I spied a dusty plastic sturgeon to satisfy my poetic self This is NOT your day, babe You just ran out of luck Now my Doubting-Thomas friend YOU owe ME one hundred bucks ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I wrote about a tin trout once (It made me feel like a dunce) And then about a steel shark Just to do it on a lark. Titanium tunas, I do find Come easily to writers' minds Along with copper codfish, too, Are easily penned into view. Chiffon crayfish could be a test. Sequined squid would be the best! Galvanized grunt I would enjoy Silk salmon would bring me great joy. But, if I ever get an urge on To write about a plastic sturgeon, I know exactly what I'll do... I'll give that urge, dear Marge, to you. |

A hundred bucks would be a strong motivation for me. But never would I bet you (Miss Marge of Mystic Poetry) that you couldn't write about anything tht occupies space, time, or thought. Well done. ps. Thanks for the e-mail information |

WTG Marge! But, alas, yes -- I think this does mean you have lost your amateur status. This was a hoot. Thanks for sharing. Rick |
