The Prompt: Turn to your co-workers, kids, Facebook friends, family — anyone who’s accessible — and ask them to suggest an article, an adjective, and a noun. There’s your post title! Now write.

Mad Libs on a Timer

Dear friends and kids and family, I guess it’s up to you
to kickstart a new blog entry that is half me, half you!
They say to give an article, I hope like “doll” or “door,”
for if they mean “a,” “an” or “the,” it really is a bore.
Then suggest an adjective that will be fun to bite on
as well as a noun that will inspire me to write on.

Today I’m going snorkeling. and leaving pretty quickly.
So if you do not provide words rather lickety-splickly,
I will not have the time to write my daily little rhyme.
If you’re reading this right now I pray you’ll take the time
to fire off three words to me and make them new and clever.
While I may be the rhyme machine, it’s you who pull the lever!!!

The first three words to come in: Coffee splendid saxophone. (Keep them coming. I’ll write as many as you send.)

Amateur

They say she played the saxophone.
While looking at the facts alone,
you’d think she played a splendid riff.
The truth? Her notes were rather stiff––
like chewing on a piece of toffee
when all you really want is coffee.
