In response to Quadrille prompt #228 from d’Verse Poets, hosted by Mish, I wrote a 44-word piece inspired by the call to include the word fish.
May this audio rendition carry the mood of the poem straight to your ears! 🥴
Shlightly Tipshy
by Lesley Scoble
shush…
don’t tell anyone
I had a glassh too many
shush…
don’t tell
I shwigged
one ship too many
I’m shlightly shtaggering a bit
from shide to side
window-silling
my way home…
hello…
what’sh thish
in my pocket?
Oh, my word…
It’sh—
a fish‽
—Lesley Scoble, July 2025
