My friend URL Phantomhive did a Book Spine Poetry for the recent BoutofBooks, and it got me thinking “MT would be good at this.” (My husband is the talented writer in this house.) Since we’re in a stage 4 lockdown at the moment, and it’s been raining consistently all day, I thought he might enjoy the challenge and he’d come up with a quick, pithy example I could share with you all.
Well. I mentioned it last night and then didn’t think much more about it, until I noticed him walking around the house this morning, making lists. Moving stacks of books around. Pecking away at his laptop.
7 POEMS LATER…
So here’s the first one – and my personal favorite. Also, the shortest. Some of the results are less quick poems and more epic adventures. But one at a time … 😉
Fucking Apostrophes,
You’re saying it wrong,
Holy Sh*t
Swearing is good for you
It’s not Wordsworth, but it make me smile and I agree with the sentiment. 😉
That one is great!
And it is good advice 😉
I should also make a list of the spines I have available, so as to make better combinations…
He was disturbingly systematic about it, and while he said he put all the books back where he found them, I suspect I’m going to find mis-shelved books for some time to come. 😀
Oooh, I love this. And it‘s good to see a contribution by MT again … even if at one removed!
He’s planning on publishing all of them on his BookLikes page, but he’s waiting for me to post a few more. He’s done one about the current squatter in the oval office that I’m afraid to publish for fear I’ll end up on a watch list somewhere, and of course, it’s his favorite. :p
I‘d say the way things are going, he‘ll be safe to publish them on BL because they‘ll be completely drowned by the spam there anyway … 🙁
Very true. Unfortunately.
That‘s an “I agree“ like. Not a “like“ like. 🙁
This is brilliant! Bravo MT!
