deep pile carpet

Written for:  The Twiglets #162 – “deep pile carpet”

carpet so luxurious,
lost my ring and was furious

The carpet was deep pile
red, like a bloodstain.

deep green carpet installed
parakeet escaped
they still look for him

A man owned a flying carpet
he kept it inside his apartment
like magic it flew
when the man uttered, ‘blue’
Weatherman said blue skies; carpet departed.

    I knew a guy who had a white shag type carpet that had to be an inch thick… I’d hate to have to keep that clean. Interesting what carpets can hide, like couch cushions… or maybe that box of chocolate? You never know what you’re gonna get. Well unless you turn the box over and actually look at what’s where! Fun reads. The lost parakeet – priceless. Fun reads all.
