Lim'Rik Flats Poet Rhyme

Sheerluck Homes and the Case of the Disappearing Poets

'Twas the Perpetually-Missing Soup Poets case,
With Homes and Whatsup hot on the chase. 

Poets leaving was not breaking news,
So they slowly perused the usual clues.

Dr. Whatsup said, "Why do they go?"
Homes replied, "You mean you don't you know?"

"Though they tend to blame some bully's voice,
Poets disappear because they make a choice!"

Old Buck September 27, 2017 at 12:43 PM Homes is right. I ran from my friends on Soup once, only to miss them so much I snuck back. They were gracious enough to have me. Thanks for a wonderful reminder spelled out in a wonderful way. Keep them coming. oldbuck

Ralph Sergi August 7, 2017 at 2:14 PM This a provocative poet and done in a funny manner that I envy. At this stage of my life, I will always write poetry unless leave the bucket list. Lim'Rik Flats August 8, 2017 at 9:22 AM Thanks for visiting the sillies, Ralph. Keep a'writin' Too soon to kick the bucket for sure!

Hannah Borke August 7, 2017 at 1:16 PM You wrote this a day before poet Chris Green announced his departure Lim'Rik Flats August 8, 2017 at 9:20 AM Didn't know that. I quit keeping track of arrivals and departures a long time ago. Being an air traffic controller didn't interest me;-) Sure a lot of crashes in this air space though!

Connie Marcum Wong July 29, 2017 at 3:12 PM That about sums it up! They usually return too! : ) Lim'Rik Flats July 30, 2017 at 9:09 AM Aloha Connie! Thanks for visiting sillyville! ~ j

Jack Ellison July 28, 2017 at 10:29 AM RIGHT ON, SIR JOHN JOHN!!! Couldn't have said it better myself! GREAT!!! Teenagers??? Lim'Rik Flats July 29, 2017 at 8:23 AM Spot on Jack! Hadn't thought of it in such terms, sure puts it in perspective:-)

Alexis Y. July 27, 2017 at 2:52 PM Hi John, I agree with this hilarious write. Futhermore,if I leave again it will be my choice and because a bully. On to the next case:-) Alexis Lim'Rik Flats July 28, 2017 at 9:27 AM Hi Alexis! We all face tough choices like, nap or more coffee? That' a mystery worthy of SheerLuck's talent at my house:-) Cheers 'n huglets! ~ j

Jan Allison July 27, 2017 at 8:05 AM It's elementary my dear John:-) The title and characters cracked me up but the theme is sad. I've seen poets come and go and they disappear for various reasons. Folks here are still being bullied I speak from recent experiences:-( I wish the injustices were dealt with but it is pointless as sadly they won't listen to the truth:-( hugs Jan xx Lim'Rik Flats July 28, 2017 at 9:23 AM I forgot to use "elementary, Dear Whatsup." I was going to and forgot! You are so correct. It is elementary that we the people are silly beyond explanation and I shall forever (almost) return to the light side in order to combat the forces of sadness, somberdom and succotash! Even the sensational SheerLuck cannot solve everything:-( Lin Lane July 27, 2017 at 8:14 AM hey, John is really Dr. Whatsup's first name. This could get rather confusing. ;-)

Lin Lane July 27, 2017 at 7:52 AM Excellent case-solving deduction, Mr. Homes. One clue is that those who "tend to blame some bully's voice," is often the bully him/herself. On to the next case to chase! Lim'Rik Flats July 28, 2017 at 9:15 AM SheerLuck fell in a well, Whatsup said, "Oh well," "He might have been drinking, He might have been thinking, with SheerLuck, you never can tell." Sorry had to unclog the lim'rik machine before I said thanks for weighing in on the case ~ John W. Jan Allison July 27, 2017 at 8:05 AM Well said Lin:-) hugs jan xx
