Lim'Rik Flats Giggle-Of-The-Day Award

the staff here at lim’rik flats
has noticed a shortage of laughs
poetry soupers
need some whoopers
Please double your sillies by halfs

And just so you will not get bored
the staff here will give an award
“giggle-of-the-day”
 is easy to play
(and playing is half the reward!)

There on your tongue, on the tip,
is a jest, a joke or a quip
turn it loose, silly
it might be a dilly
Don’t be roosting aloof with tight lip

Not everyone is a clown
but better a groaner than frown
an addle pratfall
just may be your call
you might even light up the town

Lim’rik Flats is, of course, biased
We will pick the one which laughs highest
we are subjectives
but give no invectives
and we’ll praise everyone for their tryest!


*if you see “GOTD!” under your sillies, you have won!

Hi John, I'm with Jan, this is a great idea. I giggled as well. Off to write something. I'm just hopping to cause you to giggle and that will be my reward. :-) Alexis
