Foolishness compounded

sorenbarrett

A skylight lit the sky
An eyelash lashed the eye
A table spoon spooned with the table
A handmaid made it with hands that were able
A basketball balled the basket
A babysitter that sits on the baby's casket
A bedrock that rocks the bed
A Jack of all trades traded jacks that were red
A post doctorate that doctored posts
An airbrush that brushed air with ghosts
A cross walk that walked a cross
A brainwash that washed the brain with dross
An autopilot that piloted the auto for a spell
A wishing well wished me well

            Soren, this is wild in the best way…a playful tumble of language that bends every line back on itself. It’s clever, fast, and full of a sharp wink! Love it, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
