Give #peace a chance… #LimerickSunday
Squirrel in a leafless deciduous tree, chattering at me and fluffing its tail
Happy Sunday!
To hear this preposterous squirrel scold
Is really a sound to behold.
He defends the yard
Just like an armed guard.
Don’t worry, we’ll do as we’re told!

Tom joined in his friends' March for peace
They hoped that the wars would all cease
We want flowers, not guns
For our daughters and sons
And may worldwide kindness increase

So migraine has kept me in bed
with a large pack of ice on my head.
I missed #LimerickSunday
and now it is Monday
and my good weekend vibes are all dead.
Drum and Banjo did NOT get along,
Each believing the other was wrong.
But two brothers’ great minds
Helped them boldly combine!
Their collab was a beautiful song.
#limericksunday with bonus points to anybody who knows the band that inspired this! #poetry #kidlit #poem #limerick
The old idiom "fresh as a daisy"
Always strikes me as odd, even crazy.
No one's used it for me,
And I'm glad, cuz I'd see
Wilting plants, looking shriveled & lazy.

The beach resort sounded just grand
The snorkeling, sun, and the sand
But roasting in the sun
Made Turkey Tom overdone
So he stayed in and rocked with the band

Forgot all about #limericksunday
So observing it on this fine Monday
I’m writing again
(Although not with a pen)
And a writing day’s always a fun day!

Though a fellow who often looked pensive,
Was presumed to have brilliance extensive,
He was av'rage, at best.
But he practiced with zest
"Resting smart face," his zeal comprehensive.

Formal English garden with brick wall in background. Frozen pond with leaves frozen into the water in foreground. Dried flowers mounded in a pedestal urn in the middle of the pond.
Happy Sunday!
The garden in winter is still,
A walk there will give you a chill,
Frozen leaves, frozen water,
Dried bouquet in the pot there,
Quiet beauty with elegant frills.

Challenge accepted! Here's a limerick for #LimerickSunday after a weekend spent watching the Olympics.

And so Tom's Olympics career
Ended faster than frat rats chug beer.
His wings now in plaster
Tom knew he could master
A gobbling GO TEAM!! turkey cheer.
Yay for diehard couch-thletes!!!!

Tom gave it a roll of the die,
How bad could it be??? uh-oooooooh, my!!!!
He slipped over the lip
With a 1020 flip
As feathers flew into the sky.

Tom studied Olympic events,
gobbling his turkey's lament.
His skills were not suited
He'd surely be booted,
From snow-boarding's half-pipe descent.

But Tom was a failure at broom
His wings flapped too weakly to groom
the curling sheet's ice
once—twice—and then thrice.
Tom curling career was thus doomed.

There's something about a turkey doing luge that makes me smile. But what about....
Tom perched on his sofa with tea
watching Thiessen curl rocks on TV.
He felt so inspired
and no longer tired,
so he started a rock-sliding spree.

Who else is watching Olympics on #LimerickSunday ?? ⛸️
I'm not skilled at detecting "wine #notes,"
Be they cedar, vanilla, or oats.
I will NEVER know whether
A wine tastes like leather...
But I DO know which wines get my votes.

Well aware that his rich aunt would #savor
Chole Masala — her favorite flavor,
Greedy Greg bought her lunch
At an Indian brunch.
His goal was (of course) curry favor.

Inspired by the sports on TV
Tom wondered how hard luge could be
Swooshing down on the sled
Filled his bird heart with dread
He retired to his sofa with glee

Art on a brick wall shows 3colorful circles and two human figures appearing to rappel
Happy Sunday!
See those guys up there climbing that wall?
I certainly hope they don’t fall!
Oh, wait—it is art!
But it gave me a start!
There’s no reason to worry at all!

If the Super Bowl’s boring or worse,
There’s no need to complain or to curse.
Let your #rhyme juices flow
While you’re watching the show;
Write a lim’rick – take solace in #verse.

Tom watched the Olympics with awe
Top-notch athletes from Minsk to Utah
They skated and curled
Representing the world
As Tom cheered and shouted, "Hurrah!"

Four deer stand in a home’s backyard. Two leafless trees grow in the center.
Happy Sunday!
This week’s congregation was small
But reverent, in spite of it all;
They inwardly praised
The grass that they grazed
And gave thanks or the yards without walls.

A "shadowy" fellow named Mel
Seemed so "odd," no one dared ring his bell.
All his neighbors suspected
Shy Mel was "connected" ...
And predicted he'd soon dwell in hell.

I’m sick of the wind and the rain,
it makes it hard not to complain.
But the St. Brigid’s sun
though very short-run
did relieve us from some of the pain.

BUTTERFLY SEA was enthralling
The photography bug was now calling
Tom got busy at once
Snapping pics during lunch
Capturing caterpillars a-crawling

Picture of an open barbecue grill from above covered in snow
Happy Sunday!
The grill opens wide as it yawns,
It’s tired of cold winter dawns,
It longs for the fire
Raising temperatures higher
For barbecues out on the lawn.

Thank you so much! I guess we have something similar planned for tomorrow. 😉 #limerickSunday
A lighthearted limerick doesn’t mean we are ignoring world events.
Creation is an act of resistance.
