Check Enclosed
There once was a man named Greer
“Check enclosed” were words held so dear
He entered all contests
Without any protests
Yet never those words did he hear!

WOD Challenge 08-20-21 Colorful Pelicans
Pelicans are a gregarious bunch
They fly all together in a hunch
Brown or grey
White or black
Some even have pink
But not usually on their back
Some bills are like rainbows
And others are just plain
They give me such joy
Flying over in a line
They live a long life
Maybe cause they’re social
I’ve even petted one
He was less than vocal
Another I saved
From a fisherman’s line
He was so happy
My thrill was divine!
Now I’m hoping someday
I see one this pretty
Not sure where they live
A zoo possibly?
WOD Challenge 08-17-21 Egg-streme Situation
The eggs are getting frightened
They don’t want to be eaten
They claim they’ve been infected
So that they won’t be beaten.
“Please don’t fry or dye me”,
They cried out as a whole
But Sally just ignored them
Cracking each one in a bowl.
Too bad she ate the tasty guys
For what she didn’t know
They had the Salmonella
Now she’s about to blow!
She runs into the restroom
Her tummy cramping bad
She sits upon the toilet
She’s now feeling so sad
“I wish I would’ve listened.”
Sally thought out loud,
I never should have eaten them
Now feeling less than proud.
This silly poem was brought to you by the Word of the Day Challenge. The word of the day is Egg.
WOD Challenge 08-11-21 Strictly Off the Record
Today’s word of the day challenge feature’s the word strictly.
For the Love of Herbs
Strictly off the record, I grow all kinds of herbs,
Some take me to higher ground,
And some just flavor foods.
Harvest time is near,
Drying herbs is easy,
Put some basil in myglass,
Or relax, and feel just breezy.
Please don’t cause a fuss
I grow them for myself
I don’t need the law to come
And put me on a shelf.
What? For basil?
No, you fool, the other herbs I mentioned
Well, had you been more subtle
I never would have questioned!

The Skater
There once was a man named Grizzle
Who’s beard couldn’t be cut with a chisel
He lived in the marsh
But was his life harsh?
When it was icy, he’d be perfecting his twizzle!
Don’t know what a twizzle is? It’s a multirotational, one-foot turn that moves across the ice in the sport of figure skating! 😉
