“Vanilla is not a flavour!”

My son declares with such fervour…

“What absolute rot!” I scream!

Its taste is just so supreme!”

Vanilla ice cream🍦I still favour.

***

There once was a lone Huntsman Spider 🕷️

🕷️ He’d run and he’d jump right beside ya! 🕷️

Why bother to spin a web? 🕸️

At night he could hunt instead!

But he wasn’t much of a biter.

***

Inspired by Poppy’s March Prompts.

    This is a perfect read for a Monday. I have a reason to smile, thank you for that

    Hahaha I;m beginning to appreciate vanilla more.. unlike your son. I love your humour. This huntsman sounds like a real character... deserves a short story or children's book written about him I reckon.

    Lovely lighthearted limericks! Enjoyed both of these immensely, it’s a gray rainy day but these were nuggets of sun. Thanks for sharing, Angie!

    So cool! Loved the ode to vanilla ice cream. This actually gave me an idea for my own ice cream limerick, so thank you so much, Angie!

  • Great way of approaching the prompt and some good words here

  • Shirley Belk2 years ago

    Vanilla is my go to ice cream, too! Glad the spider didn't bite!

    Funny. And Huntsman's spiders? Keep them mini, that's what I say. I'd never be able to suck one of those up with a vacuum.
