Tess at Willow Manor has trawled the www again, and come up with a picture prompt which you can see at Magpie#115 along with many worthwhile responses. A skilled manipulator of images has doctored it for me here, as you see . . .
In his bath sat a webgeek called Brindle
downloading soft porn to his Kindle.
Has he never been told
as the water gets cold
he'll find that his interest will dwindle?
.
I really like this one! Not a prompt to be taken seriously ( though many did!).
ReplyDeleteLike Frances and me you went for the good old limerick, along with a few other Magpies. It does rather lend itself to the form and yours works nicely. You had his interests dwindling and I had him revealing his assets, so we were topical too :)
ReplyDeleteVery funny ... a while back I heard that sales of Mills & Boon had rocketed as people no longer felt too embarrassed to read them on their kindles - now I will consider what else the kindle readers are flicking through on their morning commutes.
ReplyDeleteThis ranks as one of your best, Dr. You're just too good.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're just too kind.
DeleteClever, refreshing - and very good.
ReplyDeleteInterest will dwindle! cool thanks.
ReplyDeletesnort...lol...yeah cold water will def deter the process...
ReplyDeleteA kindle in the bath
ReplyDeletemight give one a laugh.
but in bed at 4 a.m.
it's certainly not glam
when a note upon it's screen
says 'The battery has been -
and gone - nearly!
Mock not, this is a true tale of woe!
But what's it worth for me to top up your bath with hot water once in a while? LOL
Whatever turns your hot taps on . . .
DeleteHA!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a winner!!
Pearl
Haha! Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! The first thing that popped into my brain was 'George and his shrinkage problem' on that epic Seinfeld episode!
ReplyDeletewell, if he wasn't told, he will soon find out! ha ha Thanks for this "spot of fun" (Isn't that what they say on your side of the pond? :)
ReplyDeleteLove it - great little ditty .
ReplyDeleteIf he downloaded the harder stuff he'd get less of a Kindle dwindle........perhaps....maybe.......*who me?*
ReplyDeleteHa! Helena... a Kindle dwindle! Well said. This is such a funny limerick, Dr. Too bad you need to imagine the laughter. Wish I could share it. Thank you. =D
