SPIKED PUNCH

Quadrille Monday #75 and De suggests
we feature SPIKE or a form thereof in
exactly 44 words.  If I hadn’t been limited
to 44 words, I think I could have had
more fun with this one!

*************


Why do speak, spake and spoke
not claim their cousin, spike
They wouldn’t be such a snobbish bunch
if they let him spike their punch .
If he spikes their punch today
tomorrow could they say he spoke it 
and consider it spiked or spoken

  1. Ha! What fun this is! Perhaps an even longer version for Thursday's open bar? (A Thursday post offering space for any poem at dVerse.)
