Planet Da-roo
He was an alien from Da-roo
Who loved women in blue.
Killing with his crush
They become mush
Then he adds them to his evening stew.
close but no cigar 143
Susan over at "Stony River" hosts Microfiction Monday. The idea is to use Susan's picture she posts
then compose a story up to and including characters, punctuation marks,
etc adding up to 140.
Let's hear it for Trellissimo's "woberfully"! Clearly it means "wonderfully woebegone" and exactly suits the last three lines of the great limerick here. Now then . . I think the 143 chars (Hey! Who's working the Word "Count" tool!) can be reduced to 140 by simply taking "he" out of the last line. That releases 2 letters and a space without altering the sense hardly at all and the rhythm very little. That'll be $20.50, please, MartyrMom. (No checks)
Great limerick!
ReplyDeleteAbout where I figured I'd end up!! Great one for the day!

Great, I loved your limerick!
ReplyDeleteYeuw! LOL! I love it :O)
ReplyDelete*sniff-sniffs* Is that Da-roo Stew?! Let me get my spoon!
ReplyDeleteHa! Remind to not wear blue!
ReplyDeleteStanding ovation for attempting this with a limerick!
ReplyDeleteHaha! And I thought having to add turnip to my stew was bad! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. Cheers.
Too bad about the 143, but a fun limerick.

Heh. Daroo means rum. At least, here, amongst the East Indians.
ReplyDeleteWoberfully gory take on the picture! LOL
ReplyDeleteSorry - that should have read "wonderfully gory" - although, I rather like the new word 'woberfully' - It should go into the dictionsry!! LOL
ReplyDeleteOoh...well, he does look like he is up to no good...LOL!
ReplyDeleteAha, thank you for this and goodknight :-)
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwwwww! Trying to rhyme right along with you!!! :O)
ReplyDeleteLimericks rule! Great job, even without a cigar.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Now that's an original slant. I am still ROFL. I'd be happy to award you a cigar. L)
