So I Did

I read on the news and knew that guy
so I did
wash the clothes and let them dry in the sun
so I did
fix the muffler and I told him not to do that
so I did

but you know how that is right it’s the same
thing different day and shit rolls downhill

so I did
I went to the grocery store and bought
dollar blackberries
They were from Mexico and tasted American
and made a cobbler
so I did.

But you know how that is
you never know which way is up
until you smell shit.

I read the news and discovered
the world is full of idiots
and falling apart
so I did.

Hey all, here is poem 20. I still have 2 more to do. I am trying to catch up but I was hit with a migraine earlier. It is starting to subside, so let's have hope.

I followed day 20's prompt for the most part using the phrase "so I did." I can't think of the grammar name for it but it is a popular Appalachian vernacular phrase that people say after they tell a story. The reiterate they did something by saying "so I did."
