April 1 Paraprosdokian Poems by Catherine Wynn https://padlet.com/cathytwynn/4gllc5klyzivhofz Write a poem that ends with an unexpected humorous twist. en-us 2021-03-31 01:31:07 UTC 2021-04-10 18:24:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Chicken of the Sea cathytwynn https://padlet.com/cathytwynn/4gllc5klyzivhofz/wish/1376334064 My cousins own a chicken farm. 
Each hen is named 
Near and dear 
To our hearts.

Name tags hang 
On the coup 
With pride 

Each bird named after 
A majestic
Ocean warrior 
Tuna 
Sword fish 
Salmon 
And 
Cod 
 
My family is pescatarian now. ]]> 2021-04-01 18:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cathytwynn/4gllc5klyzivhofz/wish/1376334064 Mercurial Slumber pattenalexander9 https://padlet.com/cathytwynn/4gllc5klyzivhofz/wish/1377087381 Trauma team Alpha to the Emergency Department,
Trauma team Alpha to the Emergency Department,
Trauma team Alpha to the Emergency Department,
 
the sultry sound of the hospital operator’s voice
floating out of the overhead speaker,
 
along with that dreaded buzzing of the pager, forever
fastened to my waist
 
wakes me abruptly, from my usual mercurial slumber.
It reads: CPR, difficult intubation, medics 5 mins out
 
In that instantaneous evolution from sleep, to full-out 
adrenaline rush
 
I feel forced to reach for my phone, open Instagram
and search for my ex—as I casually saunter to the ED.
