Blocked Limerick
Thursday Think Tank invites us to write a poem about writer’s block. I was almost too blocked to write this limerick:
Blocked Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A gal was attempting to write
Something clever and witty, with bite.
But alas her poor muse
Went on strike — too much booze.
What a plight: All her verses are trite!

Madeleine,
Was tempted to write one. Got inspired to do so. It gives good practice, good or bad does not matter. Ok with you Ma’am?
A gal was attempting to write
Something she thought that would fright
Was a tame affair
Just lots of hot air
But friends tolerated her, claimed her as ‘bright’

P/S Will post in my blog so that it is easier for me to revert back. Thanks.
i don’t like it when the muse goes on strike too ~
Been there, Madeline! That was a funny!
What good is a muse
Who’s had to much booze?
There’s paying your dues
And there’s fighting to lose….
I wonder if you live on my block? The wine in each of our pieces has delivered different results, Mad! Good to read you again.
always a good fun to read your page :)
lol, I love it; you are so quick n’ witty! ;D
Great angle.
Very clever!
Here’s another take on it:
A writer-dude went into shock
when he realized – ye gads – writer’s block!
‘Though Muse-Zombies were eager,
brain pickins’ were meager.
so together they penned horror-schlock.
Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments. And thanks so much RJ, Sandy, and Kay for your fun verse!
