Road Hog Limerick

Like a hog he was hogging the road
and we honked all the more as he slowed.
Well, we all tried to pass
but we couldn’t alas
and we’re still to this day on that road.

Jelly Donut(s) Love Song

They filled a fine donut with jelly
and they said it was good for my belly.
Well, the first tasted good
as my mouth knew it would.
The first dozen were just too much jelly.

Winter’s Chills and Summertime

There are birds with their bright shiny bills.
There are words that delight with their thrills.
There’s a this for each that.
Here’s a kiss for my cat.
There is summer to fight winter’s chills.

Prompt word: “bills” June 15, 2026 (modified)

Busy Train

There once was a tiny toy train
protected from weather like rain.
It went “choo-choo” all day
in a circular way
and it circled again and again.

Prompt word: “train” June 23, 2026

The Weed Has Gone To Seed

It is true that the plant is a weed.
I’m the gardener, I know, so I need
to get off of my butt,
get my hoe out. Now what?
It’s too late? The weed’s long gone to seed?

Prompt word: “weed” June 29, 2026
