My mediocre poetry and some random bits and pieces.

It’s week 2 in Attila the Mom’s bad poetry competition, so head over and vote for the best/worst. In case you are wondering what to expect, you can read my offering below, which apparently is not bad – but, it’s not good either, so I present my mediocre poem:

A woman of a certain age,
Sought the wisdom of a sage,
“Oh tell me why, wise one” she asked,
“In my darling’s love I once did bask
Back in the days when young and slim,
But now I age, his love grows dim?”

“Dear lady,” said the sage so wise,
“I see the pain which fills your eyes.
I promise you, your point is moot,
His love for you is resolute.
His heart is not the problem here,
Look farther south for answers, dear”.

The woman thought, what did he mean?
She racked her brains, her senses keen.
And then at last it all was clear,
And resolution very near,
She knew the reason for his droop,
So placed Viagra in his soup.

Or, you could indulge in a vigorous debate, having learnt how to argue effectively. Maybe, ghost hunting is more your style, this site tells you how. But, if you prefer the great indoors, how about trying out some Easter recipes?

If none of the above appeals, here is a quiz:
