SHOWER
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt last week was PLANT.
Pansies, or so I am told,
Live in places you may think too cold.
Always in bloom,
No time for gloom,
Their beauty’s a thing to behold.
I long for spring so I can plant
Flowers, herbs, but trees-I can’t
My old man don’t like to mow
Around them tree, now don’t you know
His wishes are for me to grant.
You’ll really like this new plant
Said the very grumpy old giant
It’s a beanstalk you see
you can come and visit me
I’ll add Jack while the dough is still pliant.
Paul Mastaglio:
Talk to the trees
If you please
But I prefer a plant
To have a good rant
It really is the bees knees!
There are several more planets to bag
Where I can plant my flag
Around our sun
Worlds to be won
If rocket prices didn’t make me gag.
Bob worked in a plant that made beer
And took some samples, here and there
But the boss caught wind
That he had sinned
So that bit of tipple cost him dear.
Rabbie Burns the Scottish bard chose,
To write both poetry and prose;
To plant his strong views,
On life, lust and booze,
And ‘Luve’ who’s like a red, red, rose!
Sarian Lady:
I’m compelled to have a good rant,
‘Bout nourishing myself on a plant.
All animals and birds,
Should be seen and be heard.
Not eaten or worn, I just can’t.
Never believed I could keep a plant
Alive, flourishing…well, never say “can’t”
Endless varieties, all shades of green
Shapely leaves, some with natural sheen
Oh but hundreds of spider mites did disenchant!
Said golden haired Laura La Plante
I would if I could, but I can’t.
For I am too small
It’s no use at all
So ou est la plume de ma tante?
Linking People 2003:
Photosynthesis occurs in plant leaves.
Leaf has chlorophyll which needs,
Atmosphere to provide carbon dioxide,
Not oxygen to form radicle oxide,
The sunlight presence please!
