Today’s random word is hairy, and we had to write two or more lines of rhyming poetry.

PSA: I’d recommend you stay on the page for 30 seconds, clap, highlight, comment, etc., but that might cause the overzealous randomizer to sweep me into its clutches, so I’ll not do that.

I bent my head down to the right
And what I saw was quite a sight.

There it was, all damp and hairy
Whoa, my armpit was quite scary.

The smell that wafted to my nose
Was most certainly not that of a summer rose.

Dashing to the bathroom sink
I washed and scrubbed to remove the stink.

Hand to my heart I made a pledge
And then I whisked the razor’s edge.

Swiping on my deodorant
I marvel at its delightful scent.

No more slow, lazy mornings for me
I’ll hop in the shower as soon as I pee.

There’s a lot to be said for visiting the homepage of Fiction Shorts. Stopping by, reading, and engaging with writers over there. It’s a fun place! You’ll find romance, mystery, comedy, sci-fi, drama, police procedurals, suspense, horror, and even a western or two.

Stop by daily because, like a good thrift store, new merchandise is shelved daily!
