L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Skateboarding

Sister Lucille enjoys skateboard riding
Weather and her arthritis providing
Lucille has skinned-up knees
From banging into trees
She has never mastered her colliding.

Ann Foster July 15, 2022 at 12:50 PM I have not either... lol... I am a clutz... at times... but I still go. So much fun. I love Lucille... my kind of girl... Well done. Ann L Milton Hankins July 15, 2022 at 1:51 PM Thanks, Ann. She's purely fictional, but she's the kind of woman I really admire. Not afraid of adventure!

Caren Krutsinger July 15, 2022 at 3:49 AM Mastering your colliding is not easy! L Milton Hankins July 15, 2022 at 9:31 AM I suppose not. I watch these kids do it and just marvel at their skills.

Terry Flood July 14, 2022 at 12:24 PM I’m contemplating whether Sister Lucille is your sister or a nun. Either way she’s a hell of a girl. Fun write, Milt. Terry Terry Flood July 14, 2022 at 12:26 PM Aha… just read your other Lucille Limerick and I see she’s your sister… skate boarding must just be her habit ;-)
