If you’re averse to
this pocket,
you’d better put a
verse in yours!
Today would be a
great day to heed the warning from Dr.
William Carlos Williams.
Why?
Because it’s National Poem in Your Pocket Day!
And you thought you’d
missed it.
Yes, it's that
festive time of the year when you’re supposed to carry a favorite poem in
your pocket (hence the day’s clever name).
Then, when family and
friends least expect it, you are to pull it out and recite, recite with all
your might.
Fear not — everybody knows about this holiday, so
you won’t receive odd looks or get hauled off for a mental evaluation.
I've even heard that
a good recitation can get you out of a speeding ticket.
Um, regarding that
last bit, Whovians take note
The Doctor lies.
Well, I prefer to
call it fiction.
PROMPT: DO NOT be a
LOSER like this guy:
No Poem = LOSER!
Put a poem in your
pocket and participate!
I do not want to be considered a loser, so today I will carry around Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken". Now I will ask for some professional advice: What should I do, since sweatpants don't have pockets?
ReplyDeleteProfessionally speaking, I do believe that bras can be considered as pockets in a pinch.
DeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity to get creative!
I have an invisible poem in my pocket. ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhen you recite it, do you make a big show about pulling it out,unfolding it and such?
