Thursday Think Tank #34 - Last Will and Testament

IMAGE CREDIT:  POETS UNITED - THURSDAY THINK TANK #34

Provided I have left after my man

And seeing as I can no longer stand

I’m taking my dirt nap because I’m dead

Whatever is left shall be equally divided

I have 2 kids - this prose will make them laugh

but seriously though - what exactly is one half?

I would expect it means divided by two

Even and fair like a chocolate fondue

HALF OF THE HOUSE

Take a brand new piece of chalk

Listen closely  – don’t you mock

Now draw a straight line - right down the middle

Teehee teehee – you’re both so fickle!

HALF OF THE COUCH

One would get the cushions

The other would get the frame

I know----I know

You think I’m insane

HALF THE BATHROOM

The bathtub is his -- the vanity is hers

Breaking the mirror is bad luck for years

Splitting the toilet means renting a saw

Why not put your names in the hat for a draw?

HALF THE BED

I suggest one can have the mattress

At least one could have some rest

While the other can have the box spring

And the comfort it won't bring.

HALF THE KITCHEN

This should be easy – as easy as pie

She gets my dishwasher – he’s easy on the eyes

My son – well he can have the comical stove

The one that’s pink and purple and mauve

And last but not least….

GEORGE THE CAT

How would one divide up the family cat?

It would be very rude to cut him in half

Not to mention it would be very gross

If he doesn't shuddup though - it will be Adios.

*******

This concludes my silly poem

It makes no sense - I should probably go home

This Will and Testament is NOT set in stone

And please be advised….the stove can be loaned J
