Well, Duck You Too, Buddy (A Tanka Poem, Hour One)

Well, Duck You Too, Buddy!

 

If my phone were smart,

then perhaps autocorrect

would have learned by now

the proper use of McPoop

is only to pass McRib.

 

(A tanka is a five line poem with the syllable count 5/7/5/7/7. This poem was inspired by true events. I once was trying to type the word “cool” while texting and driving and mistakenly typed “Ciio” instead. My phone, being the smartphone that it was, instantly replaced my typo with “McPoop,” a word that I had never in my life typed prior to that day. This poem also inspired by one of my favorite guilty pleasures, the ever so tasty mystery meat that makes up the McRib.)
