On Wednesdays, I compose a limerick based on the prompt from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: dignity, lacerate, ripe
(it's more fun if you read it aloud - try it!):
The fingers of my left hand were crushed in a door jamb last night. I did not say "Golly! Gee! Yipe!". What I DID say, I will not reprint here.
My book of limericks inspired by Three Word Wednesday is FREE to borrow from Amazon:
"They made me laugh, they made me sad, they made me think and squirm and reflect. ... Tony Noland has a way with words that is nothing short of astonishing" - Jeff Posey, Amazon review
That's right, FREE. Of course, if you're not in Amazon Prime, it still only costs $0.99. That's less than a coffee. And I'm not talking Starbuck's, I'm talking about the burnt mud they sell at the convenience store. It's worth the buck - you'll love it!
Don't have a Kindle? NO PROBLEM! Get one of the free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, Android and a host of other devices. You can read "Poetry on the Fly" (or any of my other great writing) anywhere you like!

Dignity won't let me gripe
Or cut loose with blue language, ripe -
'cause I'd lacerate
your ears with such hate,
So I'll stick to "Golly! Gee! Yipe!"

Hope your hand is doing better. Some things are best left to the imagination. And mine is vivid! :D
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your poem. Making you point in few words, is truly an art.
your poor fingers I hope they are not broken.I enjoyed your limerick as usual very witty.
ReplyDeleteA carriage door was shut onto my thumb just as the train was pulling out. I had to wait until the next station before I could get it out, so I can well sympathise with your fingers. Great limerick!
ReplyDeletevery well written...loved the rhyme!
