Flying Down, 2006, by David Salle
My impatient fingers are tapping
I'm so bored watching laundry get done
It's like hearing one hand clapping
But I need to cover my bum!

Great fun. Enjoyed that.
ReplyDeletehahaha one hand clapping...and covering your bum...you gave me a chuckle...must def be laundry day...smiles.
ReplyDeleteVery creative interpretation!
ReplyDeleteOnce I'd copied and pasted your words to make them big enough and clear enough to read, I enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteha ha need to get your pants out of the wash..great stuff!! x
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Now that I think of it, the swirl is very much like a washing machine...
ReplyDeleteCover my bum, hmmm? A wee bit of Sunday Slang. If it wasn't for movies, I wouldn't know since that word is not used like that in my part of the world. Like some who are learning English, I would wonder who keeps a poor beggar close enough to call him your own and buries him or perhaps hides him or something else beyond my ken. :D
ReplyDeleteI love doing that sort of slang in my poetry too.
yes ma'am! by all means! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like laundry!
If you separate the colors, it won't look like that!! This is so clever...love it!
ReplyDeleteadorabe idea from this painting,
ReplyDeletekathe.
Heh heh heh.....takes me back to my youth and my most favourite pair of (designer) jeans! I saved three wage packets for them!!
ReplyDeleteFun. Really fits the painting.
ReplyDeleteI needed a laugh and you gave it to me!
ReplyDeleteNow the sound of one hand clapping makes sense at last. I knew there had to be a reason!
ReplyDeleteVery enjoyable post...
ReplyDeletePuns! Haha- very cut and true!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Of course, the title is hysterical and it kept getting better!!
ReplyDeleteGreat rhyme and laugh. Bum is the favorite designation in our family as the grandkids are not allowed to say butt.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you laid bare the threads of this cheeky poem. It's very funny, Kathe. Thanks so much for sharing! =D
ReplyDeleteGood enjoyable fun.
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Let me stop laughing so I can throw in another load too! Ha! Ha!
ReplyDeleteBrava!!
ReplyDeleteI bet the falling duck got her on the pants and that's why she has to do laundry lol
ReplyDeleteLOLOL Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteHow did you do it, Kathe?! I stared at this image day after day and absolutely nothing would come to me in any regard. I am proud of and impressed by you, my clever friend!
ReplyDeleteLydia-
ReplyDeleteit just came to me in a flash as I opened up MagpieTales- I looked and saw the clothes tumbling in the dryer and her naked ass.....thanks for the nice compliment!!!
I think your poetry is far beyond mine- I am always joking- hardly ever serious...ah well that's the beauty behind all of us being like snowflakes- every one is unique!
