NEED A VACATION?

This month Mad Kane is inspiring us to take a vacation ~ at least in our own head! Check out the Limerick and Haiku prompt over at Mad Kane's Humor Blog. The topic is "vacations" ~ go on over and take a little trip!


A little limerick for you:

A vacation is calling my name.
Mr. Brownstone says he hears the same,
We want New York City...
Too expensive. A pity!
There'll be no Yankee Stadium game.


And now the haiku:

Vacations are bliss.
Mountains, beaches...or theme parks
We come home refreshed.

Mad Kane deserves a little vacation. Not only does she provide great creative prompts, she is an award winner! Nominated recently as a finalist for the 2008 Robert Benchley Society Award for Humor Competition, she was chosen as the first place winner by none other than Bob Newhart. She won for her humor column Guide For The Opera Impaired. You should totally go read it because it IS funny!

Congratulations on your accomplishment, Ms. Kane!


Don't forget...
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world!

HUMOR IS RELATIVE

Oh, the relatives! What would we do without them? You either gotta love 'em...or you can laugh at them!

This week Mad Kane is giving us all the opportunity to laugh! Check out her Limerick and Haiku prompt over at
Mad Kane's Humor Blog. The topic is "relatives" ~ now who could resist that? Below you will find my efforts!

A little limerick for you:

I once had a cousin named "Slats",
Who did not consume many fats...

But his sister Bernita?

Well, she liked to eat-a!

So together they looked like
"The Sprats".

And now the haiku:

Things One, Two, and Three ~
What great memories I have
'Cause I was the boss!

Don't forget...
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world!

TAXES AND LAUGHTER DON'T MIX!

Or do they???

I was doing a little blog hopping this morning and came across
Mad Kane's Humor Blog. She is challenging her readers to write a haiku, a limerick, or both in honor of April 15, otherwise known here in the United States as "Tax Day". Never one to back down from a little poetry challenge, below you will find my efforts!

A little limerick for you:

Mr. Brownstone our taxes doth file,
And never has he cracked a smile;
But this year invokes hollers ~
For the extra TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ~
Due to kids and our walk down the aisle!

And now the haiku:

Why are we waiting
Until the dead last minute

To file a REFUND?
