NaPoWriMo Sonnet #9

Dear Congress,

You could procure Fed Gov Inflatable Worker® complete w/
Real Break Room Tendencies® & Real Chat Room Impulse® &
Frequent Bouts of Loose Stool® ("Just Add Water™")
now that The Shutdown® has been parried & anyhow subject it to
The Shutdown® experience: Arrival of Ethnic Repo Man® &
Arrival of Ethnic Deputy w/ Four Colour Order to Vacate® &
Arrival of Ethnic Missionary w/ Mimeograph on Position® ///
I dreamt that British Petroleum® was acquired by Chia Pet®
in return for the Intellectual Property® accumulated by Madonna®
when she Flirted® with Stieg Larsson Hologram® -- so real that I
purchased Chia Gulf Oil Disaster® ("Just Add Water™" &
"Watch It Grow™") w/ 3.5 pct APR® from Chia High Finance® but
The Sad Regularity of American Life® punked my REM Cycle Chia®
leaving me w/ Flaccid Accounts of Our Inflationary Peoples® ///

Yrs, Constituent

who is going to write a love® sonnet?

DAN / DANIEL GUTSTEIN said...

i'll cede it to you, Sandra, or, if you'd prefer, i could take a whack at it here, in the world of Dear Congress, aka Dear Venison, -------BA

Sandra Simonds said...

DAN / DANIEL GUTSTEIN said...

"Simonds: you boo-hoo Jew who" bummers on the sonnet -- come on, now. I throw down the gauntlet, I challenge you to a sonnet. A love® sonnet furreal. By the end of the month. You. Me. May the best love® sonnet prosper. Eh?

Excerpt: Simonds, Sandra, "Knapsack of Ritz Crackers" (Warsaw Bikini, etc. etc., p. 31)

And it's a great book, if I haven't said so already.

Sandra Simonds said...

Wow thank you! I am so flattered and don't know what to say. O, the poems of my youth! (from 3 years ago)

I accept your challenge!

DAN / DANIEL GUTSTEIN said...

I don't make the challenge lightly, knowing that I'd be going up against a pro. It's on. The love® sonnet challenge has been accepted! ----------------BA
