Prunes -- a food poem

After a few weeks where I've missed Poetry Friday entirely (and here are this week's collected links, courtesy of poetry-writing/poetry-loving Elaine), I'm so happy to be blogging on the right day that I'm posting a poem that I hope will truly move you all....


PRUNES
by
Gregory K.

Eat a prune
And very soon
You will take
A bathroom break.

  2. INSTEAD OF A PRUNE

    Eat a raisin.
    It's so small
    You may not have
    To go at all.

    I prefer
    to drink some tea
    Though sure enough
    I have to pee.

  8. Three poetic replies? Hmmm....

    Note to self:
    If folks get bored,
    Potty poems strike a chord.

    Now I know
    The special ingredient
    That makes you go.

    Okay, so I'm not a poet. Funny stuff, Greg.
