It’s the start of the school holidays here in the UK, and summer seems to have finally made its mind up to join us (at least for a few days)… against this background, and while the kids are playing happily outside, it’s time to dim the lights on here and get a little mushy for a week of Summer Lovin’. The non-romantic and dead inside might be happier taking a week off, or looking through my zombie stuff 🙂
Esther Newton offers a variety of weekly prompts. I’ve chosen to write limericks on the theme of infatuation 🙂
Love’s loser…
I’m completely infatuated
With a girl I’d love to have dated
But fear held me back
We went different tracks
And now I’m alone and frustrated!
Love’s winner…
I’ve made the most wonderful find:
She’s the only thing now on my mind
When I try to sleep
Into my mind she creeps
So I’m tired, but feeling sublime!

Than to have never loved at all… Cinderella appeared at the ball… after dancing all night… she and her shoe took flight… but her spirits could never fall!

I only watched it recently… Didn’t hate it, but genuinely felt I would have written a better film with the same set-up. I’ve got to get off my arse and do it!
