I get it! The crush of the bag and the connotation of that word.
Nice going! I chose this piece because I noticed it needed just one
more review to be placed in a higher level of recognition. No longer. -Bill

Congratulations, Shari, for being recognized in the winner's circle for this superb tongue-in -cheek senryu-like 5-7-5 poem. When I first read it I thought, what? And then I read it again and burst out laughing. "Driver's latest crush". Yeah! You're the superb word-play writer on-site and I loved it.
This is superb writing. Congratulations!

Shari,
Very well done and congratulations on your second place finish in this contest. (I know it doesn't pay off, but hey! it's getting closer to first, right?) that's what I keep telling myself. lol
Well done, very clever!

I was shocked. I never expect humor to win. I did get 25 member funny money. That's worth a lot to me.
-
You did? That's awesome!
I got third, as far as I know that didn't pay out anything. Lol
Cool! I'm glad you did! Congrats!
-
Yes, I forgot to congratulate you too. It never gets old--that feeling of winning even if it's not first. :-)

Indeed, and so true! Thanks Shari. ;)
Comment from michaelcahill
Yep, the poem, two cents. The LAUGH, priceless. HAHAHA! This really tickled me and even touched my crazy brain a little bit. I must have used up the last drop of testosterone yesterday. :))
What a scream, par for the course for you. mikey

Your laugh is a trademark, Micky. :-)
Your testosterone took a trip through space today and landed on me. I yelled at the idiot receptionist in a doctor's office today.

ONLY you can ALWAYS pack such a comedic relief of humor in these short poems. How you do it? Only you and your muse knows. I read yours because I know there is a punchline really to hit. Excellent poem.

Hi, Shari.
Fun post with a colourful additive to the unsightly garbage. I like the use of "Driver's latest crush." Well done. Best of luck in the contest.
Bye, my friend!

Thanks, Rosalyne. The garbage truck came early today, so I missed the pick-up! Oh well, the driver will have more to crush on Friday.
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
I liked this and it made me laugh. It made me think of our mailman because I love our mailman, he's old not like that, but I always feel weird when we have a substitute mailman. It's wrong, that's not our mail person. This is my life. Great job

Thanks, Meghan. We do get used to faces.

This is the first poem I have ever read about trash and the garbage man. It is unique and the pink bow on the garbage bag is different. Your 5-7-5 form captures a day in the life of the garbage man.

Maybe I'll make a copy and give it to the driver when I see him tomorrow. :-)

I just had to stop and say this is a hoot! Not exactly a pun -
but it has that ironic twist and made me chortle ;-)
(Yada,yada, yada - LA LA LA - doin' the stretch it out thing)

Stretch it out thing. Love it.
Comment from IndianaIrish
Oh, Shari, this is just wonderfully funny! I love the image of the garbage man, in his thankless but much needed job, smiling as he sees the pretty pink bow and getting all excited to put it in the crusher. Thanks for the bug smiles!
