Mad Kane's Limerick ~ Offs

A Gated Limerick

a gal with a very full plate

decided to leave love to fate

she had a ten year plan

and a sexy pool-man

at her house on the hill upstate

3 Word Wednesday-  downhill/ freak/ sliver

The Faintest Flicker

sitting across from you 

I struggle to control the beast

inside of me..

I want to scream and yell

that this is not all that there is..

I want to lecture about freaks

and downhill spirals and blessings

that take ballet and learn to play the organ..

but for the life of me I can not choke

the joy that I see in your eyes..

and for just one second .. I too 

caress a sliver of hope...

Oh Butler... Where are You?

a fellow was famous worldwide
until it was found that he lied
his name was defaced
his shame was showcased
the butler made off with his bride

Succinctly Yours- Week 30-  Toil

A Very Fine Tale...

Sarah and Bill
sat on the hill
a bucket in each of their hands
they toiled in the sun
and considered it fun
till the waves invaded their lands

their moat overflowed
the castle was bowed
a crab ran away with a shell
they stomped everything down
in the sand castle town
and ran home with a story to tell..

Lily's Friday Prediction-

The Climb

It had not been love at first sight... she had just began to shrivel when he pounced on her from the lowest limbs of the old tree.. He was a rare form of ugly.. one that few had ever seen and none had admired.. fanning her with a newspaper he had offered her a piece of gum to chew.. as if they were nothing more than humans on a desert camping trip...

"It's the only way to hide in plain view " He explained..

Knowing that it was time.. she followed him deep into the caverns.. where their ascension began...

Marinated Limerick

went home with a girl he thought hot
she was colder than ice

he bubbles and boils in her pot

Defeat.?.

a gal who was fast on her feet
bragged on herself with conceit
a take down was planned
dare she race my sedan
madly she tore out down the street

Joyfully

I once knew a girl they call Joy

played all the guys like a toy
till the night she met Bart
easy love fills her heart
before long.. joy's joy is a boy..

Surprise -

I should have seen it coming.. bold lies of omission I could read in his eyes.. his sudden un-ease every time he saw me answer the phone.. the truth is never simple.. the death of no relationship easy..

my heart cried out for what might have been.. No second chances asked and none given .. we had..
at last.. agreed.. I watched him walk away and prayed that he dare not..  look backward..

Happy Flag Day!!

"I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it. "

Happy Flag Day!..
There are  many different opinions
 on rather the colors in the American flag represent anything at all.. maybe they were the only colors Betsy Ross had in her stash at the time.. I have read a half gazillion flag facts sights today and there are many different opinions on why those colors were chosen.. including the idea that Betsy had some cloth left over from tailoring a fancy outfit for George Washington... Popular belief and a more logical idea to me is that they represent the same things as the colors in the Great Seal. ... White signifying purity and innocence..  Red for hardiness and valor.. and  Blue to represent vigilance, perseverance and  justice..
