Whatever became of Sir Swellimpedeedoo?
Though his fingers were swollen, he needed something to do —
So he crocheted a chicken
And his thumbs ceased to thicken
Soon the rest of his hands slimmed down too
He didn’t change his diet
Nor did he sit quiet
This much is true!
Idle hands lead to riots
While creativity is so good for you
This is my response to this week’s W3 challenge.
POW, Matt Snyder, challenged us to write a nonsense poem with a specific structure:
The poem must have two stanzas of five lines each.
Stanza 1 (Limerick)

Sally, I so love how your funny poem shows that making something creative can help both our bodies and our minds!

Actually, this makes some sense. 🙂
Oh dear! That’s not good for a nonsense poem! I can’t escape my logic brain!
