Vice Detection
Don’t you have to love the fellow
with ice cream on his diet Jell-O?
And the friend with heart of gold
who likes her painkiller freshly rolled,
or that occasional slip of tongue
that tells us how her husband’s hung?
This little “fuck,” that little “damn,”
the door that’s pulled closed with a slam––
the flaw that nearly escapes detection
that proves that no one is perfection?
The truth is, that though friends revere us,
faults are what really endear us.
Although piety is nice,
I’ll take my goodness spiced with vice!
The prompt word today is “Vice.”

I wanted to put in a line about my 90 year old aunt slipping Jim Beam into her tea but it just didn’t work, plus it was a fib!!!!

Perfection isn’t really human, somehow. And it’s very boring…
