Last Night

Last night I took my skateboard

Out for a ride

Riding down the black streets

How quickly I flied

Then got goin too fast

So I reached out

And snagged a wrapped hay bale

One of many

On a huge wide field

Just lying about

I used it for balance

A sort of desperate thing

On the off chance

I might badly wipe out

But it was filled with laundry, not hay

And although this looked like a ranch  

It was actually a laundromat

With filthy clothes in the bale

Being a grease and grime habitat

 

When I looked back

I was being pursued

By a buncha pursuers

That were all in a very bad mood

 

Then the laundry bag split open

With filthy clothes spilled everywhere

Quickly I accelerated away  

Just taking a quick little look back 

Then stopping to open mouth stare

And saw people shivering in the laundromat

Cuz they had no clothing to wear

Nothing stinks quite like dirty laundry. I agree a dirty-laundry dive would be far worse than a skateboard crackup, & this fool is bound to end up with his face buried in some skivvy skid-stains. No, really, tho. I am catching the deeper meaning here -- clearly you mean to spoof those who grab onto any ole buoy/haybale in a storm! I am impressed by your philosophical profundity (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I just sat down with my morning cupa and you have me laughing so hard I've spilled it all over myself, frying my hide in the process!!
Somewhere, in one of my so called poems, i will now also need to find a place for 'profundity', a word hitherto only vaguely rumored in my humble circles but now with the actual proof of presentation, it will needs find a happy home
Ever notice how hot coffee can be on bare hide
have a pleasant day MG

This sounds like a Wiley Coyote cartoon on acid. I read it to my cat, and now she won't come out from under the bed. (She took a sock for comfort, at least)

[ArundassTP]

Powerful imagination. I can picturze the scenes well

[Dave Brown]

Interesting how dreams can go down such weird avenues
Thanks again

[Vectra Mendonie]

This was weird, as dreams always are. I like it a lot and it was funny. Good Job!

[Dave Brown]

Usually don't remember my dreams but for some reason or another, this one stuck

[Delmar Cooper]

That was about the dumbest. lamest thing I ever read, till I stopped to think about it a little more. "All in a bad mood" kinda clinched it for me. I've been in a bad mood for decades.

[Dave Brown]

Well at least you calls 'em the way you see 'em but don't take it too seriously, it was actually a dream I had.
not sure what I ate

[Delmar Cooper]

Just another naked zombie dream, I shoulda guessed.
