Tasty Limerick
I’m always looking for fun ways to jumpstart my muse. A new favorite is this Serendipitous Oxymoron writing prompt generator over at the Writing Fix. Just a couple of clicks can pair you up with an amusing or thought-provoking oxymoron. For instance, today it gave me “Tasty Tragedy,” which inspired this limerick:
Tasty Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The baker delivered his cake,
As the bride yelled, “I’ve made a mistake!”
She canceled her vows.
But that cake sure got wows,
As the wedding turned into a wake.
UPDATE: November 26th is National Cake Day.

Wealthy Monster
The monster thought it a prank
when he got a call from his bank
the deposit was high
from his rich uncle Guy
his account is now top of the rank
The baker delivered his cake
When the ground beneath started to shake
And as the cake crumbled,
The girl inside grumbled,
“Oh, great, my gig’s now an earthquake!”

Delicious Shame
My aunt was eating the food
despite being overly rude
with calories galore
she asked for much more
her weight put her in a bad mood
This is very witty. I must try that prompt generator.
two oxies she generated.
two poems she created.
clever and fun
for everyone
because of the way the rhymes got permutated
Thanks Madeleine. Off to the races then…
There once was a poet and scriber
who stood in awe of a limerick writer
who condensed her words
like witty little birds
that grew wings and flew much lighter.
