Song To Our Prince

Our fine prince is a wonderful guy.

as he walks through the zoo.
What a wonderfully wonderful guy.

Prompt word: “prince” May 4, 2026

With a bang it was sent to the sky and it popped when it got very high.

Clean Limerick

He’s pretentiously, pompously clean

Prompt word: “clean” May 11, 2026

and who knows where he’ll be
when a kiss sets him free
as the bliss of eternity grows.

Prompt word: “warn” May 18, 2026

Heat It Up

since the heat got much hotter. I got
a fine thought for a verse
(not a whiny, cold curse)
as the heat got much worse than just hot.

Prompt word: “heat” May 25, 2026
