Two Spinsters Weeping Bitter Tears in the Departure Lounge

We’ve brought
sensible shoes,
Sun cream, condoms (just in
case), travellers’ cheques and our passp..
Oh shit.

Lovely visuals here. Could be a Beryl Cook (r.i.p.) painting.

Very funny. The passport thing reminds me of my trip to Mexico. J

I like long titles. One of my favorites is from Billy Collins: "Reading an Anthology of Chinese Poems of the Sung Dynasty, I Pause To Admire the Length and Clarity of the Titles."
I think maybe "Weeping" is redundant, but that's the only thing I'd change in this one. I particularly like "just in case." Inspired writing as usual.

The title is a story all on it's own. LOL. I like the overall plight of the poor old souls.

Damn brilliant. This poem is why I'm not even trying this time. Why bother? :)
