STOP THE INSANITY!!!

just a bit of nonsense to quell the fires

Let's stop this in house cafe bickering

I suggest a food fight instead...

getting smacked upside the head

doesn't hurt half as bad as what's been said

it only leaves a bad taste in the mouth

let's get back to the joy of writing what's in our noggin

instead of letting all that raw sewage seep out

now that will surely whet your appetite 

& no taste left for food, 

sooo, here's to tomatoes in your face &

margaritas poured over your head

watch out for that flying dog!

This is priceless Frieda! Would that be grand, to hurl food full pace at the people who manage to anger us most! (Usually the ones we love and live with!) The final three lines reminded me of Tom&Jerry, in addition to your comical hot dog picture the "wacky races" kind of image came rushing into my head! Very fun and full of energy Frieda, this shows that all poetry can be great, even if it does not have incredible depth! Great work! :)

Thanks Willow, glad you enjoyed it :-)

and after the fool fight we can all join john belushi and do the "gator"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, it is about us sharing ourselves ...with our pens...

not swords.

[Frieda P]

Hahaha I think there's been enough epileptic seizures already, wasn't that Bluto?

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yep.

[Zahra]

Great poem, and nice message. I think people need to stop writing poetry against each other and become writers again. Well penned.

[Frieda P]

I doubt that'll ever really happen, poet are notorious for it but with the present climate seems anything you write can be misconstrued, thanks for your thoughts Zahra

[Zahra]

You're right, keep writing. :)

[Brandon S. Whitten]

Absolutely no need to argue it is a waste of chi. Excellent read and write, Ms. Frieda.

[Frieda P]

I hate wasted Chi almost as most as wasted food, thanks Brandon!

This made me smile. I agree..this place was so much better before all the rants, tirades, secret societies, etc. I just like to read, write and be merry! Well done my friend!

[Frieda P]

Ha that was a flying hot dog but for some reason the gif's not working, no animals were harmed in the making of this poem....!

[TL Boehm]

[Frieda P]

I just noticed that, it wan't working for me before, I was being silly too!

[Barbara Walker]

Stop it with food, stop it with laughter, but, please, let's all get along forever after!

[Frieda P]

Perfect rhyme from the poet!
