Toos, not tats

...Though the world calls them "tats",
I call them 'toos",
'The reason?', you ask;
...It allows me to use

The very silliest of puns:
like I say: 'Two newt ooze'.
[To confuse 'em is fun!]
...playing around with my nooz,

NO, not 'salamanders who lust!',
I just needed more ink!
but tease 'em I must,
[Lord knows what they think]

'Oh, that guy is a hoot'
or: 'He's a senile old man'
or: 'That silly galoot-
now there's one on his HAND!'

I've a sister who says
I need a woman to boss me
(to 'give me her hand'
and then double-cross me!)

but I don't need to plead,
and I don't mind derision,
and I don't really need
*no adult supervision.
-jj



*Don't be picky! The double negative is 'poetic license'.

@jjorge,
Love it! The nooz rooles!

While reading it, I thought of Dr. Seuss and his style of writing. Well done.

Hi btrflynet! Hi osso!

Nice to see you both!
As you probably inferred, the little ditty above refers to my latest 'enthusiasm'
-ie. tattoos. ( it started with one and now I have ....err... 'several')
One of my daughters -- the one who is tattooed herself -- laughs and says I've got 'the fever.' My other daughter says she wants to start an 'Enthuseum' to record Dad's many (and usually fleeting) 'enthusiasms' --like the kayak, the motorcycle, the several moves etc. etc. :-)

Two of my daughters have tattoos. When I think about them, I always recall the tale of The Illustrated Man. "Don't you never call them tattoos. They is skin illustrations."
