If I Were U

My thoughts today, if “U” were “I” imagine how to justify An accidental “switcheroo” would change it all around for you You thunk you typed the word to think That brunk you right back from the brink That truck that you drove home last night would be a trick! that sheds some light! If “I” were “U”, I’d check my work a duty that we ought not shirk with sicks and sucks and picks and pucks and don’t forget those ticks and tucks Good Luck would now be a Good Lick not bad but you know, it might stick and serving Duck would be a kick instead, you would be serving @!@! And Just in case anyone thinks that the last line is “bawdy” I was referring to the British pudding with dried fruit!!!

Well, I have never had *Duck* before, but can say I've had a *lick* of pudding. Yum ! :) This is so creative and clever, and I'm smiling, of course you knew that I would be. Congratulations Mike, On Poem of the Day. :) Brandy

Very witty and fun, Mike. Actually, these "switcheroos" seem very much like what my computer and smart phone do to me regularly :-) Aloha, Molly

"“switcheroo” - unique word use. Such an ironically composed work. Each verse has a unique kick. Masterly! Congratulations!
