I Challenge You To…

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

Favourite childhood memories

Last week’s theme was favourite indulgences. Here are a few of yours:

Keith Channing

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.

Kristian

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.

    Pardon me for posting a link dating back to two months before, but this poem sounded the best for me rather to write something new. Hope its ok.

  3. Not yet four, I could feel the elation
    That had gripped the entire British nation
    Dressed as a page
    I took to the stage
    At a party for the queen’s coronation

      1. Not much of a memory, I’m afraid (the coronation was a week and a half before my fourth birthday) but I have a photograph (https://keithchanning.files.wordpress.com/2018/10/2007-06-17-14-48-05_0025.jpg)
