Giving Up –
A Limericked Wail on a Gossip’s Tale
They found him underneath his chair.
Who knows how long he waited there.
The tongues wagged wild,
As rumors riled,
With theories flying everywhere.
A chocolate wrapper in his grip
Soon silenced each and every quip.
Disaster fell,
But none could tell:
What caused the strongest one to slip?
He wouldn’t plead for help serene,
The poor boy never made a scene.
They missed the point –
Not drink or joint.
He’d simply given up caffeine!

Actually I thought the cartoon was great with the poem and the rhymes are cued smooth. The ending is a surprise because of the title. Good.
clever use of a number of prompts. very rhythmic and lyrical. Well done!
That was a fantastic piece!!
Oh, that was fun!!
Kudos for writing a limerick. A challenging form in my opinion.
Thanks for this smile and day brightener!
And succeeding with a limerick! - I can hardly spell the word, much less write one.
Thanks for your continual honing of your craft. It's an inspiration to other writers.
Love,
