Sunday Limerick with Truedessa

I'm grading a truckload of mediocre essays, so I just have to do something a bit more, well, whimsical. You know, so I won't jump out of the window to test if I can fly.



SUNDAY LIMERICK WITH TRUEDESSA

There once was a guy named Blue, 
Impatient, always tired, it's true. 
He'd grumble and frown, 
Speak your mind, never back down, 
Or he'd doze through your words, boo-hoo. 

Blue's snores could be heard in the day, 
Impatience his constant display. 
With a yawn and a snore, 
He'd nap, and then snore some more, 
Wake him up? Better delay!

There was a blue guy, the color of the sky
he was always pondering, wondering why
how could he find his precious lost shoe
he was always tired, that much is true
this limerick might make him roll his eyes

    1. and I love what you did, Blue
      you made me smile, it's True
      on a cold January wintry day
      I'm dreaming of flowers in May
      I want the snow to melt from view

      Thank you for thinking of me....True...

    2. Don't mention it. It brought back memories.

    3. Memories of better days
      Today is just a slow burn, I say
      Tired of life kicking me down
      I’m searching for a profound noun
      sadly , none come in display

      Hey Blue, I hope you are okay
      If not tomorrow is another day….
      F…it is what I really want to say…

      Wait did I just say that…..

      Pondering🍸🍸cheers

    4. Happy Valentine's Day!
      Its just another day, you say
      That might just be true
      here’s a limerick from me to you
      What sentiment can I convey

      Roses may be red, but mine are blue
      remember dreams are yours to pursue
      what will make you smile for today
      may the sun shine & dark clouds drift away
      roses and thorns, life’s duality on display

      Truedessa

  2. Being impatient is exhausting. My drive home used to wear me out what with all the slow drivers in front of me.
    Really like Truedessa's addition to the limerick!

  3. Cute poem, made me smile. Popped in from a mutual friends blog, it's always fun to meet new bloggers.

  5. Like Adam, January and February always make me feel tired. I hate these dregs of winter. Hope you're well, Blue!

  6. Mediocre essays? Well that’s just not good enough. Set them a challenge, Blue. Tell these pesky student you want a limerick about their dreams for this year! You're the tutor - make them work! Teach them to be masterful!

    I do like yours and Trudessa’s -Such talent.

    1. I'm surrounded by too many students who just don't want to put in the hours. Watching Netflix is their strong suit. Crying is, too.

  7. I hope you are well. This is my favorite time of year. I hate the Summer time. It's too bright, too hot and too sunny. Give me a cloudy, cold, overcast day anytime.
