Happy “World Kindness Day,” which is celebrated on November 13th.
Limerick Ode To “World Kindness Day”
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s “World Kindness Day.” Try to be nice.
Put your mean inclinations on ice.
Be pleasant and sweet—
A warm smile would be neat.
Please don’t hurt me — it’s only advice.

we can hope cant we…did not hear a whole lot about this today…more on affairs and secession from the union…but if we be the kindness perhaps we can spark our own revolution..
There couldn’t be better advice than to be kind to one another.
I do my best to smile under even the worst of circumstances. it’s not always easy, but “World Kindness Day” or not it maybe the only smile some of the people get.
so, in case you can’t tell….I’m smiling at you, with you and for you right now.
Ha! Nice gals finish last? Smiles don’t cost you anything, I’ve heard, so I always try to spread them around–except to jerks who don’t deserve ’em. You can see this day was not meant for me. ;-_)
Thanks so much everyone for your lovely comments! Oh … and they were kind too. :)
I felt almost exactly the opposite emotion to any desire to hurt! Sweet!
Very good!
Though World Kindness day there may be,
It is kind-of easy to see
That kindness of kinds
That messes with minds
Should not be, in Land of the Free!
Fun verse Colonialist. Thanks, Poetry diary!
Thank you, Madelaine, for drawing attention to such a worthy special day. As always a fine limerick that brings a smile along with – in this case – the message.
Be well …
Awww… Such a sweet limerick. :)
Only advice! Love that ending. Very amusing, clever and meaningful too. Thanks for verifiying my new site was working ok, Madeleine… I had to re-set it up, it fully operational now (THANK GOD FOR THAT!). Warmly, Luke
Clever and beautiful limerick drawing attention for the importance of the day…
This definitely is a good reminder for us all! Well penned.
World Kindness Day. How cool. Did anyone tell Israel? Palestine? Syria? Hee hee.
Would that it could extend(don’t hurt me) all year! Thank you for a smile for my Sunday.
good advice it is
Very good advice! Every day should be world kindness day!
And, good advice!
Oh, nicely said!
Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments!
I like the ending “it’s only advice” – ah it keeps me from making a smart ass remark which might be interpreted as being less than kind :-) – never heard of world kindness day – glad I caught your post- we could all do with more of kindness that’s for sure!
Cute limerick. I agree with you on being nice…
Thanks so much Steven and Anthony!
