Subtle
Thank you
for your subtle hint!
Subtle,
like a charging rhinoceros,
like a battering ram,
like a herd of stampeding wild elephants,
like a sewer when it backs up,
like a the fragrance of an excited skunk!
You know,
Subtle!

Post a CommentJust the picture and the title made me giggle before I even read the poem. Very subtle! :)
Yes, we all recognize subtle -- very descriptive!
Oh, I needed a smile! Thanks :o)
funny. I actually had a sewer back up into my bathtub one tub and it filled the tub up. What a horrible week that was.
Some people NEED a rhinoceros sized Subtle hint!
A sewer backing up??? LOL!! Subtle!
God is sometimes that still, small voice and other times a roaring thunder!
Well said!
Funny poem to start my day. Thanks!
Subtle? People can be subtle? Where? When? I must have missed it.
