I Challenge You To…

This week’s challenge is to write a story, limerick or poem on the subject of:

Favourite indulgences

Last week’s theme was favourite songs/music artists. They clearly inspire you. Some of the pieces are here, while you’ll find others by following the links:

Keith Channing

At the ages of twelve or thirteen
What an innocent time that had been
But alone in the dark
With Petula Clark
My dreams became almost… no, can’t say that – it’s highly inappropriate.

  2. A king who’d committed transgressions
    Found indulgences sealed his confessions
    Some cash from his courts
    Cleared sins of all sorts
    While increasing the church’s possessions

      1. Thanks, Esther. I’m afraid I’m in something of a limerick-y mood at the moment…

  3. A Couple of Scones with Jam and cream
    is my favourite indulgent dream
    But it makes me quite fat
    and I’m quite worried that,
    I’m in danger of bursting a seam.

  6. There was a young lady who bulged
    At home she would over-indulge
    We were fully stunned
    To learn she succumbed
    After one more plate of O’Brien.
