Dump! Toss! Heap!
Yeah! Go on, honey,
Throw in a few more tissues.
Duh! So blasted annoying!
What does she take me for?
A fancy trash carrier?
Huff! Who needs all tubes, jars, and sticks?
Lipsticks, liners, powders.
Pens, stapler, crumpled paper.
Coins, crushed dollars, candy.
Ketchup and Sugar packets!
Am I a waste bin, darling?
Does she even know my value?
The celebrities hug and kiss me
They cuddle me like an infant!
I would be cherished on the air-conditioned shelves.
And here, I am, with this hyper kid,
Suffering worse than a three dollar cloth bag!
Oh! Comes the Queen again
Ow! Nah, sweetheart, stop!
Hold on, for a minute, sweetie.
I'll have to teach you to care for your things.
What would you do if I vanish,
With all your precious junk?
Give it a try and see, girlie
I'll be gone in the blink of an eye. Whoosh!!
A fancy trash carrier? and that's what my hubby called my handbag.
ReplyDeleteA handbag is a lady's best friend byt we need to treat 'her'in a more polite and respectful manner.

Haha... :) Yeah, treat her well.
DeleteMine is no less different. A tad organized (in my own way) which looks messier.
Thank you.
This was a very fun perspective to read. I like how the prompt is loosening people's writing up. Will we see more sarcastic inanimate object poems from you?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nathan. :)
DeleteI enjoyed writing it, so yes. I might do a few more.
This made me smile. I feel for my own handbag now. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHaha.. Don't we all!
DeleteThank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
This was funny! And oh so true! I think this one might be my favorite poem I've read of yours so far. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Kim! :D You've made my day.
