Tut-tut, now no tacky
Remonstrations—
We all know
Truth is words lie.
Truth is words lie.
Like it or not,
It’s our one and only
Natural habit
Tat.
Moderator’s comments: Whoever said punning was cheap and vulgar should take a closer look at how punningly Cinquor incorporates into this droll, little poem the British noun “tat” tastelessness by virtue of being cheap and vulgar, rather than its American counterpart “tackiness”—I say bloody good show, Cinq.
I agree!
ReplyDeleteOne of Cinqu's best, most clever.
Cinquor has already contacted me to express his delight and gratitude re your comments and for his new nickname--Cinqu, indeed!
ReplyDeleteAh, clever poet
ReplyDeleteHe saw instantly that I purposely rhymed 'cinqu' with 'haiku'.
Tat!
