April -- NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 22 --  Doctor's Advice -- and a Poem for Sunday Muse

“Pointlessness” by Fine Art Photographyer Lara Zankoul 

Her Mistake 


She doesn't understand her doctor's cure 
She takes his advice literally 
He's told her the fix for her jitters 
That would be for her to get her broom 

She's to take her broom and bucket 
Go to the edge of the sea 
Sweep the sand, dump it into the sea 
When she has finished find another 

She took his advice literally 
Didn't understand his metaphors

When my brother was a kid he once tried to put out a fire he sarted by coming into the house to get a drink of water, over and over.

From that pesky Helen : Metaphors are my undoing, apparently hers too.
