OK, this one is very off-color. It stems from a conversation overheard in which two women were discussing fellas named "Richard" in their family. Of course, the nickname for Richard is "Dick," and this is the name they were using. The vernacular meaning, of course, is.... rather uncouth. Let me just say that out of context, this was hilarious, and so, it MUST become, in some way, a poem. And yes.....the whole thing is a joke about the vernacular, so if you do not want to read....you have been warned. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!
two Dicks
"my Dick is fat."
"my Dick is thin."
"we really should be careful when we talk about our Dicks."
"it could get people confused."
"i have to be careful when i tell people there are Dicks in my family."
"me too."
"my father was a Dick, and so was my uncle on the other side.
it was funny when we had to talk about our Dick or my mother's Dick."
"i'm just grateful my grandmother called my dad Dickie."
"well at least you can pretend."
"my brother was a Dick, but now he's Rich."
there was a moment of brief silence before raucous laughter filled the air.
Thanks for reading!
