*** My Sink ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

The diversity of people who have spat down my sink,
it's not very attractive, what do you think?.
It may be an unusual claim to fame,
yet I have it, all the same.
Heat up some knives, break a bottle,
the next thing you know, you have a spottle.
With smiles and glee, they inhale with a rush,
then cough and splutter, turning red as blush.
Teachers, poets, and politicians too,
musicians and dancers, and probably even you.
All then lean to my sink, not to drink, but spit,
as long as they turn the tap on, so the spit, don't stick.
Definitely not an attractive look they portray,
this diversity of people that have just spat away.
