Is this poem safe to drink?
Unsure - need to run some tests:
Got to get the PH straightened out
Or perhaps an imaging scan is required.
Pour in a syllable of acid
Or take away two.
Hmm - better take another sample.
Oops, way too base!
A new title, perhaps? Say:
“Acidic and Alkaline Balance
On the See Saw of Life”
Yuck!
Hold on, don’t go away,
I’ll get right back to you!
QUITE A CREATIVE FORMULA, MY FRIEND...MIGHT NOT BE MEDICINAL, BUT IT CERTAINLY MIXES FOR A WELL PENNED POEM... fjr
Whatever the affliction - an overly condensed haiku, or an excessively extended rant (that would be mine) - PH has been restored to balance and the community to sanity! Perhaps we'll all have to run a more stringent set of tests on our future contributions if the old lady is to survive. Great thinking and writing as always Robert.
Acidity is in the eye of the... Poetry is the food we drink... Nice mix of metaphorical innuendo here Robert. An air of levity bound up in whimsy. Rgds, Ivan
Robert well said, this little witty ditty....we shall all sing along Love, D.
Great title, and you really pour it on in this piece. I'd give it a 7.0, which is to say, I am perfectly neutral on the topic. -chuck

How funny this is...take a bit away there, add a word or exclaimation point here! And that last line...I'll get right back to you! is the best! Love this bit.
