I thought I'd write a limerick a day this month, for larks, and as a tiny antidote to the Aaargh! Join me? #ALimerickADay #writing #poetry A stressed depressed writer once mused, ‘Social media’s been so abused. Might a limerick a day chase the nazis away? Or at least make them feel all confused.’

Each day I’ve written a limerick — fumbled ideas; gargled rhetoric. If you’ve not been enthused or a smidgeon amused, reader, ignore the exploits of Nick. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

I look to those poets admiringly who whisper great beauty inspiringly. I wrestle with words — don’t win with two thirds — and I fear my limerick boss firing me. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

The world’s in a horrible mess. Whose fault is it? You’ll never guess — “The poor and the hungry.” Why aren’t we more angry the powerful blame those with less? #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

Writing a limerick a day should not really get in the way of doing other stuff — long as you’ve got enuff rhymes. But I don’t. I’m hungray. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

We gotta look after the bees, and nurture the earth and the seas — waggle dance, build community. There will be no impunity: human life will end by degrees. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

When life sucks and my head’s in a muddle, all I want is my teddy to cuddle. But my kids say that’s weird — which is what I’ve long feared — so I just go and jump in a puddle. #NoWoeWednesdays #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

What say, we rethink celebrity: stop fuelling hate and inequity. Behaviour that’s heinous shouldn’t make someone famous. Let’s raise up those with integrity. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

A wolf who was proud of his huff, when ignored, couldn’t keep up his puff. He drooped, starved of oxygen. The pigs chased him off, again, and rebuilt their houses and stuff. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick

Slow of progress while making spaghetti, I decided to try a machete. Turns out fine strands of pasta are a hacking disaster, and they ended up more like confetti. #ALimerickADay #writing #writers #poetry #limerick #DontTryThisAtHome
