Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “spoke.” Use it somewhere, in some form, in your post. Bonus points if you don’t use it in the first sentence. Enjoy!

There was a young lady from Pinner
Who always appeared such a winner
But she spoke as she ate
Not bothering to wait
No manners while scoffing down dinner!

Sorry, such a silly effort, but my brain was on strike… nothing spoke to me… apart from silly limerick rhymes!

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Day 25 #Loveuary ❤ – Chocolate

Mmmm, Chocolate! I LOVE chocolate.

No seriously, I am not exaggerating. I really do LOVE chocolate. One day many years ago, I had a food sensitivity testing done, as I was getting itchy all the time, and one of the foodstuffs that came up for me to avoid was, Shock, Horror! Chocolate!

I decided then and there that a life of itching was preferable to an existence without the cocoa gold! Existence, that is exactly what it would be…not living life if I had to give up chocolate!

I can happily eat pretty much all chocolate. Plain, Milk, White, flavoured, chocolate coated anything (almost!) but my absolute favourite… Malteasers!

And so, an ode to Malteasers just had to be written!

Oh glorious globes of pleasure
Bringing joy I just can’t measure
I love how you taste
Never eat you in haste
Each nibble of you do I treasure!

“Passion can come without love, it’s true, but true passion is only felt with the one you love.” – Ritu

And a little limerick, to lighten the mood!

There once was a girl filled with passion
For everything very high fashion
Silk stockings she bought
Her mother was fraught
For she’d used their very last ration!

waiting

And here is my effort! A limerick trio!

There was a young knight called Ted
Who appeared to have lost his head
Though incomplete
He was always upbeat
Because he was very well bred!

He waited for love to come
But alas for Ted there was none
When it came to a kiss
No head meant a miss
And away the ladies would run!

He tried to keep out of sight
Didn’t want to give people a fright
So he stood in a corner
Like Little Jack Horner
Even though it was rather tight!
