It just struck me that it’s time for limerick Friday. I can’t believe I’ve not thought of it before now.
It’s been another beautiful Autumn day and I’ve “wasted” a few moments gazing at the yellow shower of leaves in the back yard. Rain this morning brought a lot of them down and the following cold will bring that brittle factor to loosen them up good.
As I am just now getting into the swing of things I’ll give you a limerick I used for the Ladies Night of Laughter (LNOL).
There once was girl named Loraine,
She would sing ’bout the sun and the rain.
Her voice was as clear,
As the bells that you hear,
But her pitch was as sharp as a pain.
My character in the show that night was that of a Certified Limericist Folk Singer named Maple Leaf and I would sing a limerick between segments of the show. This limerick is best when heard in musical form. I tried very hard to sing as clearly and smoothly as I could for the first four lines and then came on strong with some sharp notes when I sang the fifth line about pitch.
So…I’m keeping this one short. I need to make the boys dinner and get them all ready for a babysitter. Kris is working late tonight and I have a LNOL viewing party to go to.
There are 1 or 2 people I’ve known that you might be describing. After the fact, I was wishing I had come for the night of laughter. You mentioned a viewing party. Do you have a DVD I could watch?
Limmerick Friday is really growing on me!
Love the limerick!
And I’m so glad that you wasted some time today. That’s the fuel that gets a girl through all that dinner-making.
So funny. I wish I only wasted a “few” moments a day. I could spend the entire day looking at the leaves although I wouldn’t feel as though any of that time was wasted. I’m actually working really hard to turn my girls into leaf watchers too. Last season even after the leaves were gone Halle could tell me where all the red ones were.
