Friday Photo Fun - Something Green

Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,

or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,

then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind

and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

Something Green

In tests of speed and spawn, it's a superhero.

Things it can't do? Seems like zero.

It's tall and lean, environmentally clean,

And most of all, it's serene.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

A Seussical Soul

by Rachel Hoyt

I have a Seussical soul.

When I read Seuss I feel whole.

My imagination spews emulation,

I've a fascination with nameification,

And seek ideation and illumination,

While rhyming in timing,

Vocab-imbibeing,

And smiling

Soul.

Thursday Thoughts - Dumb Criminals

Three Limericks Inspired by Dumb Crimes of the Week

by Rachel Hoyt

Many criminals are smart as tacks and smooth as snakes,

but some have short lived careers and seem like fakes.

They're so funny that you just don't know what to do,

except if you're me, who writes rhymes for you.

You're Not Jack Nicholson

If you make yourself an ID

To take to the bank for money

Pick one you look like

(Some plain dude named Mike)

Don't pose as a celebrity.

When making yourself a website

It's important to get the name right

But don't name your crime

Or you will do time

And the whole world will laugh with delight.

The No Cash Cab

Bank robbers don't always succeed,

So bring the cab fare you may need.

You can't just go back

For the cash you lack

But the cabbie will make you concede.

Each Thursday I post an original rhyme

inspired by wacky news of the time.
