Creative Keys (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
When you’re whipping your verse into shape
And are caught in a verse-challenged scrape,
The delete key is handy.
Assisted by brandy,
And last, but not least, try escape.
(Prompted to escape)

Ah yes, been there, done that.
In addition to escape and delete
never give into defeat
your efforts will not go to waste
if you try out the ole cut and paste
Good point, Matty. :)
I’ve tried ‘escape’ so many times… :)
The brandy option sounds good!
And if all else fails, get hold of the computer
Sweet-talk it, bring sense to it that your life depends on it.
Very funny – particularly the conjunction of brandy and escape :)
Cracking limerick! Really made me laugh.
Great, but for me Brandy is escape!
Escape is rather difficult if one hits Enter first!
Wonderful! Love the advice….I’ll use my Moskato in lieu of brandy, but delete and escape…yes!!!!
I’d put that one to song. But with my voice, it would probably be sung…off key :(
Sometimes, it’s just not working – and you need to walk away. Nice take on escape.
Thanks to all of you for your delightful comments!
This is sooooo witty. Love it!
Oh, I love this…knew I’d get a smile at your site!!! :)
ah, yes, brandy humor.
I seem to remember being limber-ick on mead.
This is nice and jaunty. Brandy! I would be dead in my seat!
Muse-in-a-bottle.. excellent advice…although I prefer beer…but I’d be a syllable short, wouldn’t I? Good fun. Vb
when lines won’t turn & the clock won’t stop
it’s time for a finger from the top shelf scotch bot’
(i can’t keep to form like you do so wonderfully. :-)
Oh that’s a good one. I almost lost a poem due to the power going out.
Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Laughing. Delete and escape – the keys to survival!
Thanks, Tumblewords!
It’s always interesting to see different takes on the same theme.
I never know
Where you will go
And that, for me, is dandy.
Thanks so much Meri and Kim!
This is such a hoot! Loved it.
Happy Week Madeleine and BFN, G
Thanks so much Geraldine!
