The spot was still warm where he’d slept
I buried my head in the pillow and wept
Where once there’d been magic
Our love had turned tragic
When, from our bed at first light he had crept
In response to Mind and Life Matters limerick challenge.
Magic – a limerick

I wanted to comment a limerick
But it seemed too much a gimmick
Try as I might
I can’t get it right
Your skill I just can’t mimic

I think you’ve done just fine
Your limerick’s as good as mine
With this clever comment
You’ve shown us your talent
For penning a poetic line

Why must you always pretend
Your talent has no end?
Deep down inside
It wounds my pride
Masculinity it does offend

You, too quickly take offense
Haven’t you gotten the sense
That I meant to praise
Your poetic ways
Now please, do mend this fence!

Of all of the people online
Who’ll fall victim to my crime
I like you the most
Never make you ghost
Or at least not at this time
So I’ll go and mend this fence
Cower in my recompense
So now you will see
You’re treasure to me
I’m sorry I was so dense

I am most relieved
To be given a reprieve
After Sunday’s post
I expected to ghost
But now I can continue to breathe

This is kinda like an Irish rap battle and I surrender. At some point I actually have to finish my work.
And, yes, it was hard not to try to make this into a limerick.

I guess that depends. I crafted those limericks in the comments in a few minutes. It’s about following the rhythm of the limerick. You can do this!

Speaking of tragic. Now that’s the way tragic should be handled. Once our computers are back on their…er…feet, they are going to file a defamation suit against us.

No, I have my moments. I just don’t let them show very often. And when I do, I tend to bury them in fiction. No sense bringing the people down!
