For Butter or Verse

                For Butter or Verse
Darlene was a gourmand and poet.
She’d write while she cooked and sipped Moët.
    Long lines she’d compose,
    Inspired by her nose,
But pepper would cause her to blow it.

    Cloves is very good for your health. I used to drink it early mornings especially and without sugar or honey.

    I love a good limerick! Years ago, I created a weekly planner featuring 52 limericks, but the Smartphone rendered weekly planners irrelevant.

      Fortunately it didn’t render limericks irrelevant! 😀

    I might write a limerick as I have only been writing haikus until now…

      Maybe we need a bit of both?
      Humour laced haikus and limericks all about things Japanese, of cherry blossom, kimonos and sake
