What Really Matters
A lesson, a limerick.
The random word is SIGHT. Twist is must INCLUDE AN ORIGINAL LIMERICK.
Please enjoy my one hundred words drabble for at least 30 seconds so Medium knows you’ve been here. Claps, highlights, and comments will help more people read my work. I would do the same for you.
Because Chukwuemeka hated poverty with a passion, he barged through life with an iron-hot, searing ambition.
He swore to everyone that making money was his life’s mission. But several decades later, having fulfilled his mission, something gaped within him like an omission.
So nowadays, with his sight failing, he spends his time reciting limericks to his many grandchildren.
One of his famous ones goes like this
There once was an old man, once so young,
With strength and speed, songs to be sung.
Through life he would glide,
With vigor and pride,
Now wisdom, not strength, is his tongue.
Pawsomse Poetry by Anna Soldenhoff was such a delight
