It’s Friday and I’m feeling a bit silly. Though traditional limericks are often quite lewd & dirty, I decided this was dirty enough for me 😉


I once knew a guy, down on his luck

Whose feet got caught in mire and muck

Though he tried to break free

It was not meant to be

And so there he remained, rather stuck

 

Have a great weekend, everyone!!!!   ❤

Sweet Little Thing ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

She reeks of sugared candy, smells like a marshmallow

If she keeps this up, she’ll soon be looking sallow

Popping in the treats, savoring one after the other

She has to eat them quickly, not saving for her brother

Stacking them high, she would eat them all, two-fisted

This is where the tale, gets somewhat rather twisted

She couldn’t eat them, fast enough, so she’d hide them beneath

Her tongue, would hold a mountain full, and even in her teeth

But, she’d given it away, what was once her greatest disguise

Instead, it looked as if this would be, candy’s quick demise

For when she tried to smile, her teeth were stuck together

And so this ends the sweetness, of a little girl named Heather

Wilted White Whiskers – #NovemberWriting #poetry

Santa gets tired, dodging fire
That burns in the fireplace, below
All decked out in his fleece
And a little goose grease
Down the chimney he’d slide, like a pro

Feeling the heat, from under his feet
He tried very carefully, you know
To avoid all the flames
Without cursing your name
Little children might hear him, ut oh!

Once he found the tree, quite merrily
He would stack the toys, not a sound
Did he make as he swayed
To the music they played
This house, his most favorite, around

Up the chimney, jumpin’ jiminy!
Halfway, the poor man became tilted
The fire, now roaring
Dear Santa, imploring
“Even my white whiskers have wilted!”

So please, remember, this December
To make sure that your chimney is cold
He’ll be happier, see
As he calls to you and me
“Merry Christmas, to all, young and old!”

Under Sky and Over Sea ~ #poetry of #life

Clouds that swirl in azure skies

Waters flowing before my eyes

Catch me in hypnotic spells

Watching, as my dreams are quelled

Under sky, and over sea,

Is this where life has taken me?

Letting go, my thoughts do wander

Scattering about, it makes me ponder

What does all this really mean?

To be stuck here, in between
