Lemon

Lemon

By David Angel

Cici - 

The prompt is lemonade, not lemon!

Angel - 

I sit corrected

On my ass, on my couch
Scouring and souring 
Looking for Don Lemonade
On CNN, he's got it made!

Then Cici said she had a hunch
Don went to church, mind out to lunch!

Cici - 

That was really stupid

Angel - 

I know! What an idiot pretending that getting his dumb ass prosecuted makes him a civil rights icon. That idiot was irrelevant then and he's irrelevant now. As to the poem, what can I do - the poetry goddess gave me lemons today. My only choices were Limoncello or lemonade! Maybe I can do better


Lemon

By David Angel

I was watching CNN today
Looking for Don Lemonade
Cici tole me he was laid
Off and went to church that day


Cici - 

Tole? That was nearly as dumb

Angel - 

I know and such a good prompt too

If only the prompt was bunny…

Cici - 

Were bunny

Angel - 

That’s what I said


Bad Bunny

By David Angel

I raised you to be righteous, Donny
Not pimp yourself for fame or money
Honor Christian right to prayer
Without bad bunnies going there 

You shoved your camera in their faces
Thought that you were going places
Network news, not Rikers! 
An island full of horny bikers

Donny - 

 Ooh! Really? I sure hope so, mama

Cici - 

You know, if you're gonna write unserious poems using Petra Glyph's prompts, you should give Petra one of your hat tips and at least try to keep up -  lemon & bunny are old news - she's up to sparrow now, Dave

Angel - 

What is she going through the dictionary? I don't understand poets who need prompts when the entire multiverse is one big ass prompt

Don - 

Big ass? Where!

Cici - 

Okay, I see why you didn't mention her now

Angel -

I'm not everyone's cuppa tea. You didn't marry me because I sold out and pretend to be a sappy sweet innocently naive good hearted liberal who writes purple poetry about nothing so I can get hundred hearts instead of bupkes from the yellow bellied libs who read Substack "poetry"

Cici - 

I didn't marry you, you big sourpuss

Don - 

Puss? No thanks

Angel - 

Sparrow

By David Angel ...

Cici - 

Spare us
