It’s Tuesday Poetics, and Sarah invites us to have fun with fungi. I took her quite seriously, and my fun extended to a limerick nineling poem……and a bit of a devilish play on words. I’ve been in a bit of a down mood, so this was a refreshing change of pace. Submitted to dVerse February 9, 2021

FUN GUYS I'VE MET
There once was a fellow quite charming
Who went by the name of Bruce
He was attracted to all the girls
But preferred the ones who were loose
Hector was lost in a corn field
Overcome with fear
Desperate, he called for help
Saying “Someone lend me an ear”.
Two fun guys I’ve met
Strangely enough it's always Bruce that comes out on top... until Hector has founded a startup on crop-circles and made his first million.
ReplyDeleteThat is rampant cheating! But you made me laugh out loud, so I'm going to let you off 😉 Lots of fun - and don't we need it at the moment?
ReplyDeleteI knew I was risking life and limb ... but I was in a rampant sort of mood. I knew everyone else would do the mushrooms honor, and hoped they'd appreciate a bit of weird humor!
DeleteYour poem made me chuckle, Bev!
ReplyDeletehahahahaha---hahahaha...YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteFun Guys! Lol Bev. I love your take on the Fungi ��
ReplyDeleteOh you are so clever! Fun-gi guys are the best kind of guys.
ReplyDeleteI am smiling Bev! Great play on words and meanings... :) I am sharing this interesting fact today: A “Armillaria Ostoyae” mushroom, in the Malheur National Forest, in the Strawberry Mountains of eastern Oregon, was found to be the largest fungal colony in the world, spanning an area of 3.5 square miles (2,200 acres; 9.1 km2).
ReplyDeleteWhat??!! I can't wait to Google that. Thanks Rob
DeleteHaha - I love your humor. Thanks for the smile today.
ReplyDeleteLove able to smile together, Bev!
