Sunday.. Sunday.. What a Sunday.. New Critters..

"I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean."
~ Socrates

"Poetry is about the grief. Politics is about the grievance." ~ Robert Frost

"One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose." ~ Voltaire

Tricks..

a fellow who loved doing tricks
he walked on his hands just for kicks
and though awesome his skill
it was oft used for ill
Now His time he's serving four to six

I got three new critters today.. I was amazed at how big the Turkeys are.. They are huge.. they let me touch them as I sorta encouraged them from the dog kennel into their cage.. They were fine and even appeared to have enjoyed the trip from their old home to here...I watched them for a few minutes with everything on the stove turned down on low.. but supper fixings soon called me back to the house.. I could hear them cooing hello to all the other animals as I started inside.. I even went back to be sure it was them I heard.. I am sure they will make their own space here.. we welcome them to our flock... Thanks for stopping by my world today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Happy Limerick Day!

"Poetry is like a bird, it ignores all frontiers."
~Yevgeny Yevtushenko

"There was an old man with a beard, who said: 'It is just as I feared! Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren have all built their nests in my beard."
~ Edward Lear

"They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon."
~ Edward Lear

Today is Limerick Day!.. Limerick Day celebrates the birthday of Writer Edward Lear (1812-1888). It also celebrates the creation of Limerick poems. Limericks were popularized by Lear in his "Book of Nonsense".

This is a day to read and enjoy silly Limerick poems. I have decided to Celebrate Limerick Day in style by writing a Limerick or two of my own. You might enjoy them more if you search the Internet for and read a few humorous Limericks by other folks.. Though mine were written at a moments notice.. I still hope they make you smile!

A Limerick is a humorous verse or poem. It is five lines long. It's name comes from the city of Limerick, Ireland. The first two lines rhyme with each other and with the fifth line. The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other but not with the other lines..


That's Nat

an ugly old woman named Nat
wore pants on her head for a hat

with her skirt upside down
she pranced through the town

while we asked of each other "What's THAT?"

Wet Feet

there once was a child from the city
who grew up in fear.. what a pity

she cried millions of tears
and was ignored fifty years

now in a puddle she scribbles this ditty
