“Remember when we drank coffee with the paper?”
by P.Byrnes @ New Yorker Magazine
All Good Things;
have to end
Off to a good start
Off to a good start
I'm half way down the bottle
Forgot where I live
You did a good job
I asked for the one with worms
Bottom here's nothing
Through with funnies yet
Family Circle and Blondie
Good reading at work
Oh good dripped your Scotch
I wish you'd switch to vodka
Save your smell for home
Writer's Note: I'm not so good with puns.

- Cartoon from "The New Yorker" and copied from Magaly at the link below. A couple reading the morning news. They are inspiration to write, I used one cartoon of the three.
- I'm linked with Magaly Guerrero in the Imaginary Garden at http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2019/05/weekend-mini-challenge-oh-poetic-irony.html?m=1
- Magaly has asked for satire and irony, not agony. But do notice each verse uses the word "good". If you can find any tell me in a comment.
Your notes and labels have me rolling. I'm not good with puns either, the first two lines are funny (I laugh easily, lol) and ironic in the whole starting in the middle bit. The "irony, not agony" in the note made me cackle (I told you I laugh easily). I noticed all the "good". 😁
ReplyDeleteP.S. The prompt doesn't ask for satire or irony, just to use the offered pieces as inspiration.
ReplyDeleteFunny poem Jim!
ReplyDelete... when bad is good and good is... sarcastic :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly it's probably for the best that they didn't serve you tequila!
ReplyDeleteI had tequila in mind but I needed a spirit with only two syllables.

I don't think I could handle that much tequila
ReplyDeleteSeems as good a way as any to handle the evening news. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteI thought tequila when I read about the worm. Cheers, Jim!
