Written for: The Twiglets #156 – “tails like banners”
The skunk’s tail swished
like a banner of odor.
Banners hung from
walls of Town Hall
rally, like yellow tails
of New Year’s Eve
noisemakers.
fanned out like banners
on green lawns of the estate
peacocks spreading their tails
Once a young man from Winnipeg
carrying a basket of fresh eggs
rang his sweetheart’s bell
Thought she’d think he was swell
but they fell. He left with tail between legs.
I think I’ve smelled that skunk.
Yellow banners reminds me of the song; Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree… 🙂
I was at a place once that had free roaming peacocks… and an albino one too!
Eggs break…tell that young man to try again 🙂
