Oh my, Michelle, your words brought out the worst in me today, grin. This was written in fun, with no attempt to do it with great meter or flow, just to goof around. And I, of course, know absolutely no one that fits the description given in the last line! This is fiction, well, the last line, anyway.
Michelle’s five words and theme for today:
sanitary — fuselage — ache — paste — pardon
Theme: It’s Unlike Me
Me List
Unsanitary is for others who are not me,
I prefer paper towels ready by the door
No plane’s fuselage should be beneath my feet
nor stairs lowered for my ascent
back and ache do not compute
I’ve better things to whine about
cut or paste with flour and water
have been replaced with command C and V
I beg your pardon said with grace
has been replaced with:
I beg YOUR PARDON, you straight laced #$%#&*I((!

I too relate to your poem! WE turning into nerds or what?
LOL
Oh dear, I can see the salty air has loosened your tongue.
I like this. And yes, cursing seem to be the norm these days. I know so well about Command C&V - I use it all the time when I copy and paste my url instead of typing.
Your last line is a naughty one but, nothing could have been said with more truth. And, I am partial to copying the url instead of cutting and pasting. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Have a nice day.

That cracked me up
You might have written this in a hurry, but it’s great! I like the sense of humor and the frivolous tone. Reminds me a bit of Shel Silvertein.
has the silk purse begun to reveal the sows ear from whence it came????
I came by to say I have something for you at “shades of mj” if you would like to stop by.
Okay. I’m not taking the last line personally! This is such a fun read with such potent reality! Love it!
