Limerick One
The Fashion One
Some fashions are made for the treadmill,
And some made to wear at a standstill.
But the ones we call “fast”
Are the ones that will last,
’Cause they’ll moulder for years in a landfill.

The limerick competition got me started, and now I can't stop. Send help. Or food. Or money.

HERITAGE OF THE HIGHLANDS.
In the mist-covered highlands, where mountains Stand like ancient sentinels, and the air Is crisp with the scent of heather and pine, I hear the echoes of a heritage, A tapestry woven with threads of history, Of tradition, of lives lived in rhythm With the land, with the sky, with the spirits Of the ancestors who walked these paths, Who breathed this air, whose whispers Still linger in the valleys, in the glens.

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.

All too true, a very topical take on this limerick challenge!
