Punctual, my friends
screech down the block
We start with reds
at whine o’clock
Then move to white
with great delight
Power hours

Play on words: If you thought I was talking about wine, I apologize.
I’m talking about red and white puns, jokes, and laughter. And if
there’s alcohol, let it be in moderation. Let’s laugh more, because
laughter serves a social function, benefits health, and soothes your soul.

wow, your poem makes me smile
Hey, Sami. Your words made me smile. Thanks so much for reading. So glad it brought out a smile. Be well. xo
Yes, a mightily cheerful one. Works perfectly with this photo.
Humor is the best spice of life!! I enjoy puns and how words evolved from one meaning to another. And from other languages into Amerian English. 🙂
Thanks for the comment. 💃🏼 👏
You’re funny, Selma. Thanks for the chuckle.

Hehe. Thanks for that. ♥️
Perfect, made me smile 🙂
Such a fun to read Selma and love the way you wrote whine o’clock 😁😁😁😁
Yeah, it could have been WINE O’clock
Or ONE O’clock. But it would have gone a different way. I settled for whine. Haha. Thanks for the nice words. Good night.
Yeah that would have gone differently, glad you went with whine 😁
You’re welcome! Goodnight you to Selma 😴💝
Selma, a fun and lively poem that has set me up for Sunday evening! I’ve never come across half a sonnet format but it works brilliantly here!
Haha. Isn’t it hilarious? A half a sonnet! Stephen has a website (get this, makes me smile when I visit) called “If you haven’t got a sonnet, a ha’sonnet will do.”
I just heard about it recently, too. It invites me to take a load off. 😂
Glad the lively poem worked for your evening read.
Be well, Annika. Stay lovely. xo
I’d take a cup of laughter (and kindness) over alcohol any day ❤️
So glad to know this, dear Ingrid. And you’d benefitting tons by choosing laughter and kindness. Stay that way.
Funny poem, I love this,Selma!
Hehe. So pleased you saw the funny in that. 💃🏼 😹 👏
I enjoyed 👯
Now, that’s a cleverness very typical of you! Loved the smart puns.
