Written for:  The Twiglets #276 - cracked stucco


When the stuccoed wall
had dried, a crack appeared
in the shape of a bird.


Are you stuck? Oh,
sorry.  Made me
crack up.


he stands appalled
with onset of Spring weather
she paints stucco pink


                 A man enamored of stucco
                painted their bedroom cocoa.
                The room looks much smaller,
                said his shocked wife, Paula,
           like I'm stuck in a sandwich minus mayo.
