A Fragmented Future
You want a story of hope? Of innovation? Are you tone deaf to what’s happening in this nation Are you completely unaware of the situation?

Parasites infecting my brain Crushing my soul Causing my heart to strain Making my eyes roll Parasites Crawling everywhere

What is a Friend?
What is a Friend? In the tapestry of life, threads interlace, A bond beyond words, a warm embrace. A friend is a mirror, reflecting the soul, In laughter and sorrow, they make us whole.

The Deviled Egg Can Be Devilish
Today is National Deviled Eggs Day and deviled eggs are being mentioned as great appetizers for the Thanksgiving feast. They are definitely tasty and colorful and when piped, food art…but starting off a family and friends celebration with sulfur bombs??? Do you really want the answer to the question “How was your Thanksgiving?” to be “It was a gas – literally and figuratively!” Of course, once the tryptophan from the turkey and the overeating kicks in and the snoring starts, who is going to notice.

Pale Rider Revisited
I can’t remember what inspired this verse, probably watching a Wild West movie on TV. But I do remember being impressed with how I managed to finish it after having no idea where it was going… :D

Kodak Film and Saveloys
Those who didn’t grow up in Australia during the 70s and 80s may not be familiar with the words: ‘Winfield’ (a brand of cigarettes) ‘dingo’ (a type of wild dog) ‘fag’ (cigarette) ‘saveloy’ (a deep-fried battered sausage, also known as a ‘battered sav’).

Cat's Hat
There once was a cat, sly and flat, who wore a bright orange hat. With a meow and a grin, he would twirl right in, spinning circles like a mad acrobat!

A Trick or Treat Limerick
It is officially here. Overeating season. It starts with Halloween, moves on to Thanksgiving, after that it is an avalanche rolling down the mountain with Christmas, and New Years until it slams into the Super Bowl. Then clothes don't fit and it is New Year's resolution time.

To the ones who told me that I was too much
To the ones who told me that I was too much Radiance in its mirth smiles in the abundance of glee, In its glory, it holds the light that sets your darkness free.

Life Requires An Occasional Lube Job
Classical Art Memes and limericks go together like hand and glove, and in this case a gloved hand about to perform a prostate exam. I stuck a word in this one that I had previously inspired a limerick and was a perfect fit for this meme’s limerick. A musing fusing, so to speak.
