Pensieve's Poetic License ~ Limerick


The following are two entries for Robins Pensieve's Poetic License.


What can I say? How can I get serious about Limericks. They are too much fun.



There once was a guy name’o Arnie

Who only liked chili con carne

But on St Paddy’s Week

He tried Bubble & Squeak

And a green beer to wash down the Blarney




There once was a green leprechaun

Who conserved and recycled - doggone!

And… about global warming

She cried: “I’m informing--

You all that my Hot Flash is ON!”


Have a wonderful day filled with poetry Robin.... and all the rest of you, too! Read more HERE!

These are terrific... you are very creative!

So, are you single handedly responsible for global warming or is it our combined hot flashes that create the green house effect?

LOL! That is very good! Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. Momma is better. She is on Home Health Care. NExt week will be her last.. (They only put her on for 3 weeks) We have a nurse that comes 2 days and a Theropist 2 days, but they only stay about an hour and we have to stay the rest. I'm not really sure she will be able to stay alone after her time is up, but maybe I wont have to stay as much.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Image
Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
