A family at home we are craving our supper But the fridge grows two legs, and drop-kicks my brother. The blender rears up, slicing my mother, The toaster explodes, my dad starts to smother. The oven mutates, and soon forms another. An outdated ad screams, 'Quick! DUCK and COVER.' We take our last breath, with no hope of another But-we-are-all-saved-by-TINA YOTHERS! ------------------ Poetic Wheelbarrow http://sites.netscape.net/poetwheel |

This is so good, for some none apparent reason this reminded me of a book I read called Verse and Worse by Arnold Silcock give it a read if you get a chance between all you poetry production I think you'll like it. |

(Shakes her head..) You're not right....and I love it! You're hilarious. I'd challenge you to write a poem about say....a drinking glass....yet, I know you'd find a way to make it all too funny. So, I won't....but I'll think of something better and challenge you in the future....LOL Thanks for the laughs. |

That Tina Yothers was always such a sassy broad... gotta love her. (Favorite Quote from Family Ties: "YEAH, Alex") |

Thank you all for your assault of praise...This one was something of a "golden oldie" that we aired out here. Actually, the Poetic Wheelbarrow have been writing these poems for many years now, we're just glad to have an audience! Thanks again, one and all!

Thanks Elizabeth. Tina Yothers is the young child in all of us, yearing to be heard yet fearing to speak.

Where do you guy's think this stuff up? I would think you would have to have a good imagination. This is great. |

Kind of reminds me of an old Jack Prelutsky poem about meat loaf. Anyone else ever heard of it? The Green Polar Bear  |

Ryan-are you talking about the one called "My Mother Made a Meat Loaf", where the family ends up using the meat loaf as a brick? That's the only one I can think of. |

Kick ass! What a funny (and technically sound) poem. I got a real good belly laugh out of this one. ------------------ William Haskins AKA The Mad Monk http://www.ionstorm.com/public/haskins/inner_sanctum.htm |

Poetwheel... How I missed your morbid poetry... I was forbidden to read you for a while but I sneak away from this hell that I chose while intoxicated with the smell of money to read you once more.... |
