I told David that my Mom reads my blog, but he insisted on tagging me with one of those durn-fool memes. He even made a wisecrack (eww) about possible SoulFire lyrics. This one isn't pretty, folks, and it unfortunately is going to perpetuate the mental imagery I suffered through during yesterday's sermon. So I'm just warning Mom, Grandmother, Aunt Patti, anyone else in my family -- y'all just move along to the next post and ignore this one, k? Same goes for my church friends. I am so embarrassed. David, you may be an old curmudgeon, but your inner fourth-grader is showing.
I was never one of those people who could stand down a dare, unfortunately.
Okay, here's the meme David has passed (eww) along to me.
The assignment is to:
1.) write a lil ditty built upon the phrase "Turd in a punchbowl."
2.) spread the lil meme to three others.
I've always been a fan of iambic pentameter and blank verse. Okay, here goes.
The senior prom was a night to remember.
His tuxedo was brilliant pink to match
His date's magnificent designer gown.
The hapless girl had no idea that he
Had smuggled in a vile and loathsome parcel
Which he intended to deposit in
The punchbowl, perched so magnificently
At the front of the room. She took his arm
And swept in gracefully, all smiles and laughs.
He escorted her toward the fateful table
Where the doomed beverage awaited.
He mercifully drew her drink before acting
Upon the dare his friends had perpetrated.
Then when her back was turned, he opened up
A Ziploc bag he'd carried in his pocket
Still slightly warm from its recent emergence
And deposited its contents into
The swirling green and frothy concoction
Of sherbet, ginger ale and pineapple.
There, David. Ya happy? I feel like taking a shower now.
No question who I'm tagging for this one.
