Mother In Law

A l i e n a t e me from the mother-in-law, malignant by nature with many flaws- “Oh don’t try to flatter me! You’re inurbane, can’t you see!” I surely failed getting luck of the draw! His mother can sure be quite capricious, and most of the time can be malicious- “Please gravitate off the earth, you d i s s i p a t e your own worth… and your apple pie isn’t delicious!” I liked her in a transitory way, until she RUINED my own wedding day- Tripped me walking down the aisle, perspicuous! Saw her smile---- :) as a scapegoat she blamed it on Aunt May! Ten Word Challenge Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton Date Written: September 5, 2016

yeah I read that yesterday too. I started this one Saturday night at like 2:00 am, then saw hers, but I decided to post it anyways. I wasn't sure if I should, but the only think I could think of when I saw the word "malicious" is my MIL lol :)-luloo

Laura, your talent is glowing in these three hilarious limericks. You had me laughing from the very start. Great usage of ten not so commonly used words. Good luck!
