"Excellent poem, NnB. You certainly have a knack for matching the photos, or the other way around." I've got that idea covered, too. I had to pick the picture for this one myself. You can tell the difference.
Exchange Rate
A pictures worth a thousand words, you send your image through,
I dash down but a hundred words and send it back to you.
Youre happy with the process, exclaiming all the while,
You think it is so wonderful, I really have to smile.
Youre matching up an image with a bit of doggerel,
And youve been too nice to mention that they have a bit of smell.
You seem to think youre winning in this game of sleight of hand,
While all Ive done is toss out words and see just where they land.
Like doing up a load of clothes and matching up the socks,
Its not as though I have to take them down to beat on rocks.
I take whats worth a thousand and give you one for ten,
And when I look up one more time youre standing there again.
As you go home just chortling over what you think is great,
Im getting rich as Croesus at this greedy exchange rate.
While you take out these loads, of nonsense that Ive told,
Im filling up my treasure vault with images of gold.

LOL
At least by posting them yourself, you won’t forget to acknowledge the author. :)
Thanks for that funny poem. I can’t believe that it is 4 years old. Must be time to write a couple of new ones.
hint, hint
