This week's writing challenge from Mama's Losin' It
is to write about allergies. OK, there are other topics but I chose allergies.
And I was in a limerick sort of mood.
.
My allergies are more mental than floral:
There are politicians, acting immoral;
And boorish louts;
And Brussels sprouts;
And any piped music, choral.
◊◊◊
One Minute Writer also had a couple of topics that appealed.
In what area of your life do you tend toward excess instead of moderation?
Well, that's a given for me.
It’s true, I have to confess,
With wine I prefer more over less.
A glass is fine
But a bottle is divine:
Nothing exceeds like excess.
◊◊◊
Write about an "online-only" friend you have not met in person.
On line, she was bright and quite pert.
I lusted to explore up her skirt.
I was shocked to discover
That my internet lover
Was an interstate trucker named Bert.

you ARE good ..
I love limericks ---and saw your "online-only" one on One Minute Writer. it made me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it about limericks? They are exceedingly silly, yet quite delightful, maybe because they are often somewhat naughty.
Dare I post my favorite here? I have no idea where this came from but I've repeated it often for more than 30 years:
There was a young miss from Madras
Who had quite a magnificent ass,
Not rounded and pink
As you probably think,
But was gray, had long ears and ate grass.

Please add a gadget so we can follow your blog. I tend to forget (unless it comes up on my dashboard) to check back on the blogs I like.
ReplyDeleteI would love to follow your blog, especially if you will post more limericks from time to time.
Done. I think.
ReplyDeleteBlithe spirit, your pen just drips with cleverness. Thanks so much for making us smile.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a thing about Brussels Sprouts, don't you!
ReplyDeleteMmmm..... I'm sort of new to this. I set up my blog in March but did nothing more until November, so I am still in the learning stage. I don't think subscribing is the same as following. (I just realized I didn't have mine set so one could follow it, so I did that today.)
ReplyDeleteFor me to subscribe to your blog, I would need an account on Google, Yahoo, or other sites ---which I don't have. To follow, I just need to click on the follow link on your blog, then when I open my blog, it shows a list of new posts on the blogs I follow.
You could do, both, of course, if you wish.
OK. Try that. I use Google Reader to subscribe to, group and monitor blogs.
ReplyDeleteVery clever j cosmo. ♥
