I am a girl from Chicago
I shiver whenever the wind blows
It reminds me of when
The snow didn’t end
And snot flowed freer than fro-yo
**************************
I live in a town with moms
Sometimes it reminds me of prom
Who goes with whom and
what’s with the boobs
Jewelry parties go off like a bomb

The limericks! I can’t get away from the limericks! I think in them — weird, measured rhymes that haunt my days and bedazzle my friends. Where “bedazzle” equals “bewilder.” Or “annoy.” Right. I think annoy is more apt.
Such rich, rich prose.
So this PROMPTuesday, join me in my madness if you please. Write a limerick about where you live OR where you’re from OR if you’re especially limericky today…do both.
Please post your limerick in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments.
First time to PROMPTuesday? Read a bit about it here.

Your second one was genius. Sheer genius!
This did nothing to help my inability to not live my life talking and thinking like a Dr. Seuss book.
A bored man from Rancho Bernardo
Found life there to be quite retardo.
He moved down to the beach
And then met a peach
Who had red hair like Lucy Ricardo.
ahhhhh, limericks. I have a mental block when trying to write them. Don’t know why. Damned. I’ll keep trying. Will be back if I figure it out.
I love the limericks! Too bad I’m not that creative today. If I think of one I’ll come back and post it later.
Have a terrific Tuesday!
Speaking of “Limericks” — can I please just recommend the book “Angela’s Ashes.” It is set in Limerick, Ireland in the 1920s and 1930s — and it is an awesome read. I am actually listening to the audiobook because of my limited “sit-down-with-a-book-at-home” time. The audiobook is read by the author Frank McCourt — and old irish guy who died last year. I think this book won either the Pulitzer or Booker prize. Can’t remember. Awesome!
LOL I just snorted.
Fuck, you’re funny. (I too am a f bomb sister with you and ooph :-)). I’ll work on mine tonight in between Idol singers and my tweeting and my wine drinking. Fun night in the burbs. Wait a minute is that a limerick? If not, it should be. Let me work on it.
