      there once was someone I adore
      that said “we can’t do this anymore”

      • Simply fantastic, Dru! 🍻
        The meter may be a bit wonky, but your creative imagery, spot-on rhymes, and dancing rhythm make your efforts worthy a pound of Elvish Gold*
        I really got a very good laugh out of your unique “Only You” sense-of-humor … especially, with L4 ‘n 5, Limerick 2. ; )))

    • Here is Guillotine bi-trillets

      The ring of steel bells. beckons us to hell
      The audience ignores the sound
      Multiple bodies hit the ground

      The chiming goes on, sings a restless song

      Guillotine swinging in the sun
      Eternal…Read More
