Colourful Excuses

Jun 23, 2016 | Writing Challenges

While going through some old posts, I realized that there are two drafts that remain unpublished. Wondering why and when I wrote these but here is the first one.

Clearly the spaceship’s been hovering above for too long.

 

When a random comment triggers off a limerick, there’s no other choice but to publish it, especially when the threat of a pointing gun already looms large. Don’t believe me, just check the comment exchange here. 😛

The resulting limerick ? Here it is.

Excuses, excuses! I hear excuses!
As long as they are not colourful expletives.
Wonder why people always shirk
from doing what’s their share of work
Just a gentle nudge is all one needs to get flowing the creative juices.😛
