the days of our lives

O’er March 14 pie crusts we kissed
On 4/20 joints we could twist
It’s hardly slumming
When your date's coming
May the 4th be with you for this tryst

Sally Eslinger Date: 5/1/2024 8:21:00 AM Duke! Yo! The wit keeps rising. Love your tell of the inspiration…the true poet always alert to the running lines, with net out & pen ready! Super work! sally Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 5/2/2024 5:20:00 PM Sally, you picked a good one. There's plenty of innuendo for us sensitive types. Hope you are well!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/31/2024 1:55:00 PM Really cute one! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 4/1/2024 6:44:00 AM Andrea, glad you liked it....this is one of the ones I got lucky with. It's funny that they sometimes can't quite get there (even with a lot of trying).

David Fisher Date: 3/22/2024 4:43:00 PM Very clever weaving of these important numbers in your life. What a date if 5/4 was one of them; just perfect. Another limerick with every line well thought out! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 4:59:00 AM Thanks David. You are really something special here on PS. Dates on 5/4 could be very special indeed! This one took a few turns before posting it here.

Bill Baker Date: 3/22/2024 4:24:00 PM Very creative and entertaining Limerick, Duke. I like it! Bill Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 6:09:00 AM Bill, that is kind indeed. Your kindness and realistic outlook on things make this site a better place!

Ink Empress Date: 3/22/2024 4:21:00 AM Dear duke, you always come up with really fun and entertaining limericks that takes me on different journeys, like how you did with this one, with your use of “ cannabis” “ 420 “ may the 4th” is very clever and fitting for the theme that youv gone for and I absolutely love the picture too! How clever are your rhymes as well. I love this! Pleasure always reading your work. Sending you light Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 6:10:00 AM IE, thanks for the electromagnetic radiation sent this way. I can close my eyes and see a lot of different colors and patterns that reflect the way you write and think. You are most kind and I am glad you enjoyed reading this one.

Laura Breidenthal Date: 3/21/2024 10:05:00 PM Love it! Clever work, as always. Btw, just sent you a soup mail back. So sorry for the late reply - I forgot to check it for a long while! Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 6:53:00 AM Laura, thanks for that mail. It's always a real pleasure to hear from you and see your work as well. Sounds like you have a lot going on and congrats on being a word-smith pro! You have such a great talent.

Hilda Greenhough Date: 3/21/2024 4:05:00 PM A funny limerick again. My limericks don't work out well, don't know how you do it. You make me laugh. Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 7:06:00 AM Hilda, I think the best thing is we get to share what we do, and it's great to laugh a bit. I have always been a bit of an engineer. This form suits that inclination. However, I can't do what you and many others do here. So, I guess that makes us even on some level--we're all limited in some manner. It's a good thing lest the head get too big.

Silent One Date: 3/21/2024 12:55:00 PM You have a great imagination and this is always shown through your limericks... Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 7:18:00 AM SO, you are kind. I try to put the pieces together in a funny way. I think it's more perspiration. I haven't thought about imagination so much, but I should devote some time to pondering what that means. Thanks so much for everything you do here.

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 3/21/2024 11:26:00 AM Hello Duke, your limerick captures our whimsical escapades like snapshots in time. Each line creates a fun scene of our carefree moments, from pie-crust kisses to shared joints. May the Force continue to guide our adventures. - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 8:28:00 AM Daniel, dates are funny things when paired with wordplays! Personally, I never much cared for 410 and its associated activities, but it is funny nevertheless. BTW, you are such a great summarizer. It is a wonderful talent that so many lack!

Vijay Pandit Date: 3/21/2024 10:03:00 AM Creatively spun words, Duke. I like the play of words that form the essence of your poem. Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/23/2024 10:07:00 AM Vijay, glad you liked it. I keep these short and sweet since I like brevity. Always appreciate having you visit.

Jan Allison Date: 3/21/2024 8:03:00 AM clever word play Duke:-) hugs Jan Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/21/2024 8:32:00 AM I was inspired for this one. Thanks for appreciating!

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/21/2024 7:50:00 AM - (Cannabis pie)...I'm pondering...sorry I didn't get this one, Duke ... (But I've never been good at X-puzzel :) - hugs Login to Reply Duke Beaufort Date: 3/21/2024 8:30:00 AM Anne-Lise....I agree it's a bit weird. OK, so 314 (3/14 or march 14) is pi-day...3.14 being an approximate value of the number. 420 is either April 20 or 4:20 PM, both celebrated by marijuana smokers who partake at around that time in the afternoon after work and set aside April 20 for a day of general cannabis celebration. 5/4 or May fourth is a word play on May the force (be with you) for the Star Wars cult followers. (So sorry!!!)
