FUN GUYS I'VE MET

 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

  1. 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.

  2. That 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?

    1. I 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!

  5. I 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).
