With thunder and lightning, crackle and gleam
With howling winds, it lashes and teems
Filling rivers and lakes
Thirsty ground, it slakes
And the rain washes everything clean
For Mind and Life Matters’ limerick poetry challenge.

Wedding – a limerick
When Jesse and June got to lovin’
Soon June had a bun in the oven
And though the wedding was white
The groom was a’fright
At the end of her daddy’s loaded shotgun!
Ah, love! Ain’t it grand! In response to Mind and Life Matters weekly limerick challenge!
Color – A Limerick
In ‘pantelon rouge’ marched the army of France
But the uniform gave them little chance
To dodge the enemy bullet
In fact made them a target
All because of the color of their pants
In response to Mind and Life Matters limerick poetry challenge.
World War I: The very heavy French losses during the Battle of the Frontiers can be attributed in part to the high visibility of the French uniforms, combined with peacetime training which placed emphasis on attacking in massed formations. The shortcomings of the uniforms were quickly realized and during the first quarter of 1915 general distribution of horizon-blue clothing in simplified patterns had been undertaken.
