Pillows

I belong to this website called http://allpoetry.com where I post some poems but mostly because I get to read a lot of poems from other people.  This one guy, called Uncle Dunk, posted this one poem there that was really funny (I thought).  His poem was in response to a picture prompt contest (someone posts a picture and people are supposed to write a poem in response to the picture).  His poem is here http://allpoetry.com/poem/5681793.

You’re allowed to make comments on other people’s poetry so I wrote:

I used to have a pillow
that me wife was jealous of
Because I held it tightly, nightly
And whispered it sweet love.

I came home from work one night
Found that she too had killed me pillow
But, when I found her in the bedroom,
She had surrounded herself with jillow.

To which he wrote:

What a brilliant use of ‘Jillo’
My, you are a clever fillow.

 Which I thought was a very funny thing for him to say.  http://allpoetry.com is a cool site.  You should check it out.
