Tanka Poets on Site prompt: signs and inscriptions

sign on table at China Hill, Ellsworth, Maine, USA.  (c) 2014 Saradunn

.

.
bright come hither signs 

.

tempting signs sprout like weeds

drool starting words.

.

homemade equals “real butter”

.

calories eak out the sides

 

.

.

inspiration note:

.

.

Dom DeLuise,
long ago on
“Hollywood Squares”
was asked
“how many calories
in a Snickers candy bar? ”
Dom: “none”…pause
“if you break it in half
and…
he pantomimed
and shook the invisible candy bar
“pouring” the calories out
