Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Congratulations on your Honourable Mention ✅🤩.
Well this was shocking, but also made me laugh!! Loved it MC!! Congrats on honourable mention for the lighthearted laughs category for DKs vocal challenge!! 🎉
I quite like Cod… I used to poach it years ago.🤗
Codfish I have not seen in a while. Mmmm. lovely.
Fabulous work! Go Mother! 🌸
And that was a clever acrostic!
Witty and funny great way to start my day with this one.
I commented on this article before and I deleted my response. Apparently occasionally the system here on vocal puts an investor badge on everyone. It might be that they are working on the system or any number of things. What I was saying that I read some people are Grandfathered in as a free account I did not know that as I have only been on vocal since January. Sorry for the confusion. This was as funny as it gets Mother Combs, I enjoyed it and you made me laugh out loud. Nicely done!!
This was fun! And as usual, great images. 🌷
This was fun 🤣
Oscar Madison??? He always was odd. Valerie should have listened to her dad Felix and never dated an older man. Some of our lessons are hard. ⚡😉⚡
😂😂😂
This is creative! Love the imagery! 💝🌟
You had me at the image, and now I want to try this clever style!
Haha!! Love when people combine forms! Hadn't occurred to me that this was prime fodder for limerick writing! Wonderful entry, Mother Combs!!

There's a lot going on here in these five lines. Soggy codfish? A dirty liar? And that's an interesting, er, HOBBY he has. Did you happen to know an Oscar who did that? Lol. 🤣 Really great poem, MC! Made me laugh.
Ummm.... this poem is about so many people :D
No..., comment? Lol.
💙
😅 Than was fun, Mother! Thanks for the laugh!
This was a great poem. I am going to enter but I don't know if I can hold a candle to the seasoned vocalizes. Nicely done!!
