PINCUS: A 100-WORD POEM

I tell the tale of Pincus Pink
Who lives under the kitchen sink.
Is Pincus crazy? Ask a shrink -
For Pincus is my friend.

The day I first met Pincus Pink
I saw him at the skating rink.
He drank a most peculiar drink -
A whiskey-prune juice blend.

Say what you will of Pincus Pink:
He does not care what others think.
He uses epithets like “Chink”
Which drives folks ’round the bend.

The living space of Pincus Pink -
It has a noticeable stink,
A pong to make a strong man blink,
And then his clothing rend.

[The theme of Weekly Challenge #71 at the 100 Word Stories Podcast is Pink.]
