30 Days of Writing Minus 2 - Absurd

Absurd


Dear Abby, Dear Abby,

My life is absurd

I'm useless and tired and feel like a turd

Being a mom is a great thing to be

But after awhile I just want to be free

Signed, Life Sentence


Now go visit Nicky and Mike and see who else created something for you to read...

    Life Sentence, Life Sentence
    You're so good with words
    Hard to believe your life is absurd
    Pretty soon though you'll escape from the vault
    Of this competition which is all Nicky's fault
    Signed, the dufus

      Dear dufus, dear dufus
      I really do think
      that your song replies have caused quite a stink
      you craft your words, you are playful and fun
      and often have time to add in a pun.
      Signed, L-M

      You and Dufus need to sing a duet!

    I think you and Dufus should only communicate with each other via this song from now on.

    And I hope your day gets better... :-)

      My day is fine - except that it is rainy and cold - so that's nothing new...

    Yet another reason I never had children. But my cat sometimes barfs in my shoe.

      Similar experience except your cat can't talk back.

    Absurdly enough, I thought today might be the one day you weren't going to rhyme.

      Don't you think rhyming for 28 days is absurd anyway?

    I don't think I've ever read a poem with the word "turd" in it. Oh, strange new world.... Ha!

      Oddly enough, I read the word "turd" in another post today!

    Hey Amy! Good grief, it's absurd I'm still reading at 12:30am GMT. It's absurd I agreed to take part, even. And it's absurd that we've not hunted down Nicky and Mike and burned their castle down. Indigo x

    I can seriously see you and Dufus sitting on your stools on stage with the spotlight on you singing your dueling duets. I'll buy the first ticket!
