Limerick – sing
For Esther’s challenge:
Laughing Along With A Limerick
***
Here’s a new limerick challenge for you – your word is:
SING
***
He bought his girl a ring
A bright and shiny bling
But she found out it was glass
And called him an ass
Thus she began to sing
You made me think you’re a king
Took me under your wing
But you’re just a fake
Nutty as a fruitcake
Now I sing, zing, and fling your bling

I always liked to jump rope when I was a kid. I wasn’t all that good at jumping, but when I finally figured out how to get both feet off the ground at the same time in a jump, I was pretty proud of myself. haha 🙂
I remember we had lots of fun jump rope rhymes we’d say while jumping, and then counting how many we could do before missing.
Cinderella dressed in yellow, went upstairs to see her fella, how many kisses did she get … 1, 2, 3, etc.
Blue bells, cockle shells, evie ivey overhead – then the rope would be thrown over your head
There was probably more, but that’s all I can remember right now.
Here’s a poem I wrote back in 2017 about jumping rope … as usual most all my writing and poems are done stream of consciousness as is this one.

JUMP RIGHT IN
Jump rope jingles
Recited in rhyme
One, two, three,
Will you be mine?
Double Dutch fun,
Then over-head
Hot pepper is fast,
Your face turns red
Chanted in cadence
To keep up the pace
Trip over your feet,
And lose your place.

Nonsense – Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Lid
***
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “lid.” Use it in the literal sense, use it in the metaphorical sense, use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
***
So, today for SOCS we have the word or partial word ‘lid’. Thanks, Linda!
***
I only know a few things about a lid, such as the cover on a cooking pot, a sealing top of a jar of food, and I think it’s a measurement of some kind of drugs?
It’s always hard to get the lid off of a jar. I’ve strained my hand trying to unscrew the thing. I can sometimes stick a pointed kind of spoon under the edge and lever it so it pops the seal. Then you can open it easily. If all else fails, I call in the Mr. to give a strong hand at it. That usually always works.
Let’s see what else … some nonsense maybe?
Well, I’d thought of something, and now it’s gone … hang on a minute.
I have a lid that was not hid
There was a lide that tried to hide?
I tried and tried but off it flied?
Nope … not working!
I bid on a lid, but off it slid
A bird flied up … no … that would be flew
It doesn’t rhyme, and I never lied – subtract the e so you get lid?
I think I better end this now.
Have a fun weekend! 🙂

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – ode
***
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ode.” Find a one- or two-syllable word that rhymes with “ode,” or use the word “ode.” Have fun!
***
An ode to the toad with the node
A toad sings an ode to his node
The node is embarrassed and falls off.
~
Okay, think of something else …
~
My abode has a lodestone inside
But I need to solve the code to enter
And I’ve forgotten the numbers
~
There once was a store called Mode
It sold second-hand clothes for an ode
But I’ve got a tin ear so was out of luck
***
And that’s all I’ve got for today … Hope your weekend is fun!
