Day 89 - Status Update

 STATUS UPDATE 


Prompt - Status Update : Write a poem using the words from your latest status update or a fiend's status update on social media.

-------------------------------------------------------

There was an old comic called Aidan

Who finds he's a gig that's been laid on

Indoors in late May

Now he waits for that day

And a poster with his face displayed on


(From a FB post by Aidan Goatley :

Guys, life may well be returning.
Just got my first booking for an indoor gig for 2021. Indoors. At my favourite venue. 28th May.)

------------------------------------------------

I chat away to a guy online

One week passed and it's going well

I've kept to light and easy talk

No rush to give the big hard sell

I tell him that I've got three kids

No sign of him being shocked

But tell him I've five chickens too

And immediately I'm blocked

It's the weirdest reason I recall

For a courtship's sudden end

But if a man can't handle chickens

No way he'll be my friend


(From a tweet by Shona Scott :

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever been blocked online for?  I’ll go first:

I’ve been chatting to a guy online for a week or so, and things have been going well. At least until I mentioned earlier today that I had 5 chickens. He replied “chickens?” and then blocked me )
