Bless this Mess
~~~
A continuous sneeze
soaked right to the knees
dry me off
but oh please
never ever
refuse to hug me
~
You been scrubbin this floor
for six weeks or more
took me less
time before
to keep
this dang face tidy
~
You don't never sigh
when most people cry
and scream
at your guy
to wrap
his head in a baggy
~
Six mops in the kitchen
lets eat out
quit the *****in
There must
be some place
that'll serve us
~
The napkins are drippin
the table is swimmin
in spite
o' my nose
we did
finish the chicken?
~
Oh the waitress is blind
she must be
she's kind
then the bikers
beside
went to leave
~
Lost their lunch
the whole bunch
on our table
at once
walked away
but laughed back
with a cry
~
Hey buddy!
How Long Did It Take You To Get That Ugly ?
~
You should know
was my sigh
buttin in
to this lie
next time
you might try
keep your comments
confined
with the flow

Now that is one ugly mess! Where is my giant box of tissues? Get the hose out, forget the mop.

I think they'd let the asterixed word slide if you just wrote it as it was.

Well Rex, I definitely enjoyed this piece a lot... very playful tone, creative and with a simple concept, but written in a manner that keeps it from being boring or redundant.

You wrote this very well, and it was a joy to peruse.
