David Kavanagh Poet Limerick

Good Vibrations

Beach boys on the boom box, surfing away 
Gran’s bored, California dreaming all day 
She’s drinking whiskey 
And feels quite frisky 
Climbs on her ironing board, next stop LA

Suzanne Delaney July 19, 2022 at 5:01 AM Fun one David: Congrats. Love The Beach Boys vibe here. David Kavanagh July 19, 2022 at 6:06 AM Thank you SuZ, I honestly struggled to come up with a theme, til the Beach Boys idea came from the blue, cheers David

Tom Cunningham July 19, 2022 at 12:37 AM Missed this gem David, congrats on your win. It was only the other day I asked Alexa to play the beach boys that it came to mind and when I saw the pic it came together. Tom David Kavanagh July 19, 2022 at 12:56 AM Thanks Tom, the picture itself sparked good vibrations, so I just went at it from that direction, and the beach boys theme took over, I’m delighted to get a placement, cheers David

L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 7:41 PM David, I really like this. Imaginative and clever and funny as all get out. David Kavanagh July 19, 2022 at 12:53 AM Thank you Milton, it was the last entry for the contest, so I hadn’t got time to hang about, I’m delighted it turned out well, cheers David

I Am Anaya July 18, 2022 at 6:58 PM David, it must be the Irish Wiskey! Good vibes alright...it made me smile:) Congratulations on your win ~Anaya David Kavanagh July 19, 2022 at 12:50 AM Heya Anaya, Some call Irish whiskey the madman’s drink, if you drink more than the recommended dose, I think gran had a few too many lol, cheers David

Beryl Edmonds July 18, 2022 at 6:31 PM Very good David, a wonderful Gran although she’s rather risky… Belle David Kavanagh July 19, 2022 at 12:46 AM Risky indeed, surfing on an ironing board when drunk, thank you Belle, cheers David

Jenna Logan July 18, 2022 at 3:33 PM Go Granny Go. I'm glad you wrote another, David. Jenna Logan July 18, 2022 at 5:37 PM I know of one another besides Tom, but at least you have an entry. No worries... it's a trivial thing in life. David Kavanagh July 18, 2022 at 4:05 PM I’m just after visiting Toms page now, and spotted he had already written a beach boy theme, I had honestly no idea, but with a limited prompt to go on, there may be a few other entrants with similar ideas, Damn serendipity, cheers Jenna Logan July 18, 2022 at 3:54 PM She's got the spunk to do it. Wouldn't it be fun if you won with your new entry? ;) David Kavanagh July 18, 2022 at 3:41 PM Thank you Jenna, and for the heads up as well, hopefully gran makes it some of the way at least, cheers David
