Can’t stand it when
she tells my jokes
To grab the
spotlight, wow more folks.
She’ll parrot lines
To show she shines
And earn their
favor. Holy smokes.
Come up with your
own tales, I muse.
Don’t steal my
stuff, so you can schmooze.
You may be loud,
But are you proud
To pirate humor to
amuse?

Saw the link on the Facebook A to Z, and had to stop by for a read. Love it... do you get inspired by the photo, or do you first write the poem and then find the photo to match? Really well done!

For this April A-Z series, I am starting with the photos, but I am taking them in altogether different directions than they were first intended (as vintage movie stills). I am dragging the far afield from their original contexts, just for fun,
