Call of Saul There was an old man called Saul Who had a shrill sort of call What’s he saying? Now he’s praying Oh, I think he’s trapped a ball #writer #humor #limericks #poetry #humour #authors #humorous #iamwriting

      Moon Girl

      I want to go live on the moon It really should happen quite soon My life is a mess With plenty of stress I need to get going by noon Dig Deep I think I’ll go live in a hole Dig down deep and act like a mole I’ll keep myself neat Pedicure my feet But my bum’ll be black as coal #writing #humor #aspirational #limericks #poetry #humour #authors #humorous #critique #iamwriting

      She Who Laughs Last

      I hadn’t planned to pull his head off. I bent and searched for body parts under the desk. “You’re an Action Man, for plastics sake,” I told him. “You’re supposed to hold it together.” I was still on my knees when Mr Krypton returned to his office. “Much as I approve of the attitude. What are you doing down there, Miss Light?” “It’s Bright, sir. One of your soldier dolls fell off the shelf.” “Not dolls. They’re valuable collectibles.” Yeah, right. Whatever. Krypton had a whole

What a challenge that is.  If I ever finish my novel, there may be something to contribute, but until then, It’s just going to be the odd limerick or two. Continuing the theme of confection, here we go… A greedy boy loved bubblegum Until it got stuck in his tum He fell to his knees Gave one mighty squeeze And it shot right out of his bum Miss Whippy A young lady loved walnut whips But they onl

      Lousy Limericks 2

      I’ve moved on from sheep and cows to the hazards of sweets.

      Trying to knit my own false teeth.

      Occasionally you hear an author say, “the book wrote itself.” Really? That’s as incredible as saying, “I knitted my own false teeth.” This writing business is hard and slippery. I started with enthusiasm and misplaced confidence. My first hurdle was tenses which slapped me round the face and said, “You really have no idea what to do with us.” Then I got all caught up with POV. I’ve settled for first person as I find it easier. Experts in my writers group say it is frown
