Fine art

With one aesthetic CLICK
he took a photo super-ARTSY
in which the ordinary sun SHONE
on an even more ordinary PLANK.  

Should I?

My friend’s favourite descriptive word: VAPID.
OUGHT I let other people know this,
SHARE it with the world? Or say that the
flight I most delight in is the HERON’s.

Excess

Overindulgence of CANDY
at Christmas has meant today’s NINTH
trip to the outside, long-drop PRIVY
and too much washing in the DRIER.           

Growing wiser

Once I acCRUDE some understanding in this hospital, I
LEARNed that a little bitty knowledge of the
NURSE’s daily workload goes a long way to getting a
BITTY – a little bitty – more help with my post-op struggles.  

Misapprehension

SORRY to report that the aging soak who tried to
TOUCH the havoc-maker for twenty dollars
WREAKed the full wrath of the latter’s
SURLY self-centred censure.  

Tinky-Tonk

CRAFT fair. Baubles without substance.
GAUDY trinkets, trifles, whatnots, and
PRISMs: imitation rainbows. I sneer,
SCORN the tinsel tawdry.     

Final Concert

GAUNT the aged pianist sat,
(SMELL of soap, once standard in all homes);
SHONE the sounds from fingers wracked, of
FLAILed keys fiercely struck.

The schemer

GRIND my baggage into my cabin and

HOARD all available space. Full steam

AHEAD, the Captain cries, leaving my

WOOER with egg on his face.
