A HEALTH HAZARD
Oh such tribulations and trials
I’ve gone and swallowed some scrabble tiles
and much to everyone’s amusement
I'll probably suffer a vowel movement
and what I wonder will follow thereafter?
My trip to the loo could spell disaster.

Oh lol, good write M.
You have done it again Michael such a clever use of wording and language to achieve a most humorous piece another fave
Thanks S
Most welcome Michael
lol woops, depends how many tiles you swallowed? Could be between four and 10 words? LoL oh it's like countdown!!!! 😂 Nicely done my dear Mr Edwards fun on a Monday. 🌹 Let me know later which word it actually was 🤣
Plop was the word followed by a colon.
😂 nice imagery!
A fun write, Michael. Looking forward to a movement myself.
Michael, this is tight comic verse. The rhyme is playful, the premise is ridiculous, and the payoff is earned. You don’t overwork the joke…you let it spell its own fate. Fun, effective piece, as always, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
The consonance shall be tooting tastic as well. Great read🕊️🙏
Sorry Michael but you should only have seven tiles and there are eight letters in disaster. LOL
