SLIMYTOES BEGONE

Quadrille #100.  Our poem of exactly
44 words is to feature "magic" … and
couldn't we all use a bit of that about
now in the midst of this pandemic.

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

alas the day dawned moon-blown
and I awoke all a-quirk
I knew I’d seen the slimytoes
in the corner where they lurk

I reached for my magic potion
and just sprayed it all around
those besotted grave-groping slimytoes
growled and melted into the ground

  1. I really like your word choices and whatever term the hyphenated ones are called. The end result is jumping with life. So glad the villains were vanquished in your tale.

  4. Ha. Yes, I could do with some of that spray too. Just loved "awoke all a-quirk" - and can almost hear the grumbling as they melt away...terrific stuff.
