Well, I have seen this challenge by Chelsea Owens around for a while, but never had a chance to get involved.
But, recently, this virus has stimulated a few #CoronaVerses, and I thought I could conjour up a terrible limerick for this week’s prompt…
Are you ready for some TERRIBLE POETRY? Here goes…
A man in a fit of elation Stockpiled like the rest of the nation Well, bog roll he had But it left him quite sad When all the pasta gave him constipation! Ritu 2020
Awful, isn’t it?
Here are the specifics for this week:
- Topic: Stockpiling against a worldwide disaster, in limerick form.
- Length: A limerick. They’re five lines: AABBA, in anapestic meter.
- Rhyming: Yes. In AABBA anapestic meter format.
- Make it terrible! Got it? Make it terrible!! The world’s ending, after all!
- Rating: PG-13. This is the perfect time to panic …poetically.
But I Smile Anyway...

“Coronaverse” is a GREAT phrase! What a funny poem as well! We’ll see how everyone’s stockpile works out in the end. 🙂

Thanks Chelsea.
#CoronaVerses has become a bit of a thing on my blog now, if I’m feeling poetic, due to the cause, they get called #coronaverses!

Terrible poetry personified and scans like a true limerick should. I fear that Bryntin and I may have to vacate the field to save what’s left of our reputations.
