A limerick
A chap, forlorn, scrapped slender book;
Head in his hands, his shoulders shook.
"Alas! My prose is too short!"
But swift came his agent's retort:
"Old chap! Poets style this ~ a 'chapbook'!"
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

I remember the days i use to hand out tracts
But a chapbook is so different
I would’ve loved to be handed them every Saturday downtown
A glorious limerick
Let’s face it you must have the talent of humour to tresspass i limerick land.
Limericks are so fun 😄
Ya know, I’ve written some serious ones too!
Thanks, Abi 💞
Oh yes they are !!! Too engaging
you have?
You must share one or two serious ones
Although it seems as though chapbook is one of them
You are more than welcome ❤
I posted some serious ones here 🙂
Oh cool, I will peruse in the course of the day. Thank you 😊
So many chaps! I admit I laughed. But no limericks from me…
🙂 🙃 Muri 🙂 🙃
Nicely done boss! If I could just write all the time….
It’s something I’m very thankful for!

Of course with the number of comments I’m getting these days I can only post every couple of weeks. It’s great dialogue, but challenging too. I’ve learned a lot.
Yeah – I noticed that! Incredibly fruitful and serious dialogue! It’s very, very impressive.

I’m willing to share… curious what your Jewish heritage would think about today’s post (only if you have time sir) No expectations
This is the second mention of a ‘chapbook’ today…is there one in the pipeline?
I had to get rid of the first reference because I realized that it broke the rules of the poetic form 😜
Ha! This made me chuckle David! 😂😆 I’ve contributed to a few of said “chapbooks” in my time! 😛😛
😘 Ken 😘
