The Age of Mistaken Mythology: Infinity!

During the Age of Mistaken Mythology, Edgar wondered whether adding one to infinity made it bigger (and my grammar checker wondered if I’d ever stop writing this hollow nonsense).

Brian said that it would be bigger by one.

Gabriel said that nothing is bigger than infinity, so no.

(I had an opinion on this, but decided to keep it to myself.)

Brian asked, “How could anyone get an infinite amount of anything anyway?”

Gabriel said, “Just pretend you’ve already got it” (which is what Edgar already did).

Denise offers “hollow” as the prompt for this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

Psalm 103:1 KJV – 1 A Psalm of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: Autumn Colors

Dale offers the prompt “autumn colors” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

On Friday, we went to Crowder Mountain State Park in North Carolina.

Here are some photos of the challenging trail to Pinnacle Peak.

The trail goes back and forth up the side of the mountain.

We went up the steps, but stopped when we had to climb the rocks.

The Age of Mistaken Mythology: More?

In the Age of Mistaken Mythology, after becoming a gazillionaire, Edgar wanted more. Then he wanted more than more.

While Brian munched on more potato chips, Gabriel asked, “Haven’t you got enough?”

But Edgar wanted more, because more was more than what he had before. An urge to splurge began to surge. He rhymed and rhymed some more.

Denise offers the prompt word “surge” for this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

October 2026 Limericks – Sunset Reflections

All of these limericks were either originally posted to Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With A Limerick or somewhere else during October 2026.

The Song of the Wonderful Woo

There once was a wonderful woo
who didn’t know what he should do.
So, he sang a sweet song
hoping you’d sing along.
And you did! Even you can sing, too!

Oh, the light is so bright when it’s light and not dark like the darkness of night

Hip Limerick

Though I try very hard to be hip
giving others an earful of lip,
my mouth runs way too fast
and the words sadly last
when I should have just bitten my lip.

Prompt word: “hip” October 12, 2026

and reflections are, too, like the one facing you

By Their Works

All these works are their fruit. You can tell
if it’s heavenly earth or dark hell.
When you shop, stop to see
if the fruit of the tree
is a work only devils would sell.

Prompt word: “works” October 19, 2026 (modified)

Busy Leaf

Since sweet time is a thief, I’ll be brief.
Since the job I must do is the chief
concern on my mind.
Let the summer unwind.
On this branch is a true, busy leaf.
