And With This Magical Device

And With This Magical Device

A Chapter by therisa
"

An expanded and edited version, of my poetic response to, Anto's poem, "My Tater Peeler". http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/antomac1001/1462378/

"

Oh
I know
The perfect spot
To start peelin'
Upon my body.

Just trimmin'
What Nature has
Deposited
In err.

Shedding off
The excess weight
Accumulated
Over the years.

Thus removing
A spare tyre
Or two.

Which has
Mysterious grown
Around me.

Digging out
The unwanted
Exterior plumbing
Of mine.

Until only
Interior access
Remains.

Just think
All the money
Your wonderful peeler
Will save.

With
Just a few applications
To one's body
Like mine.

Anto, you deserve full credit for this poem, as your original poem inspired this.

Thank you, very much, Anto, for your generosity.

Thank you, Ana. Just think, an entire industry would go broke, if such a device existed.
