One Liner Wednesday

Holy Cow!
I have just completed the 31 days of poetry challenge with OctPoWriMo, which I took very seriously. However I looked at the prompts today and nothing was speaking to me. So to reward myself for being diligent for the past month, I came up with the nonsense below. It just flowed and the sillier it became the more I liked it! Please forgive my indulgence. I’ll be back on track tomorrow!
Holy Cow!
He was roving the countryside
Until he came alongside
A poor cow stuck in a fence
Her leg was caught in the wire
Half her body lying in the mire
Things were looking quite tense
She was mooing so loudly
But held herself together proudly
Her pain was obviously wicked
He tried to help her get loose
Struggling just tightened the noose
Her limb was looking crooked
He was fearing the worst
But there was a cloudburst
It was raining cats and dogs
She started to have a tantrum
So his guitar he began to strum
As he sat down on some logs
The music to her was calming
He could see she was a Brahman
A cow of the highest quality
If he could only free the bovine
Perhaps the owner would offer a goldmine
It was a matter of her dignity
She had slipped lower into the mud
The rain had left quite a flood
But he finally freed the poor cow
As the owner appeared
His reward he feared
Might be less than he had now
A bonanza was not on the cards
Not by many a yard
The cow was ownerless
The man who came
Was just playing a game
It was time to reassess

One Liner Wednesday
Here’s one for you on this fine Wednesday morning. Linda Hill had suggested Words of Wisdom as a prompt for today’s One Liner. My Words of Wisdom would be “Don’t do this!” This happened to me last night. Ouch!
Have a great day!

Good Morning! It’s another One Liner Wednesday and this week the prompt is “What are you thankful for?” In times of political upheaval and divisiveness, I am thankful that I still have a sense of humor. It is needed.
This one is silly I know, but I can’t help myself. It made me laugh!

Have a great Wednesday!
One Liner Wednesday – Attention Dog Owners!
Good Wednesday morning!
Here is a funny dog cartoon for you. Have a great day!
In reponse to Linda G Hill’s One Liner Wednesday
Kingdom
Kingdom
He dominated his kingdom
As a true ruler never should
playing dominoes with servants
whenever he could
Although his indomitable skill
Preceded him in the land
His Dominican queen
could never understand
As head of the domicile
She banned it by demand
His passion for a stupid game
So random and unplanned
Her boredom was of the play
That never tested his skills
Just a game of luck she said
You should work on the treasury bill
Pressured by the queen’s wisdom
Which was pure omniscience
He finally let the dominoes fall
Terrified of her malificence

Charm
Charm
I am a charming
Choice number three
Three times is a charm
Or so they say
It had better refer to me
Things come in threes
You can live a charmed life
Prince Charming came along
Charmed, I’m sure
Happy to be his wife
Lucky charm around her neck
Charms on a bracelet jingling
Plenty of Southern Charm
Ladies never sweat
In fact they’re glistening
He could charm the pants
Off anyone who’d listen
Although no one cared to
She left for charm school in Europe
Parents paying for her tuition
Someone will sweep her off her feet
He’ll likely be a charmer
He will cheat on her
Three’s a crowd
So who will be his partner?

Smoke
He slowly rowed the
small boat
to the middle of the lake
never saying where
he was going
Just knowing what to take
Peace and solitude
It was a favorite
way to escape
He went quietly
without a sound
his plan taking shape
No one around
to question his actions
No fear of his daughter
Hell to pay
if she only knew of
his smoke on the water

Introduce
Introduce
Let me introduce to you
Without any further adieu (ado)
The star of tonight’s show
Who is so very eager to go
He has been chomping on the bit
To be on this stage so brightly lit
Making his first appearance
For such an esteemed audience
He has rehearsed for days
In the hope of receiving the praise
For his Tony-worthy performance
Which to him is of the utmost importance
His lines have been memorized
Every possibility analyzed
He is such a professional
He is almost obsessional
His costume impeccable
He looks most respectable
This is his moment as he walks onstage
Everyone cheers, they are on the same page
He takes the microphone from the stand
When suddenly it is grabbed from his hand
What the heck said he
To the person he could see
You are embarrassing me in front of everyone
To which the voice answered, Sir, your fly is undone
Christine Bolton
