If The World Ended
A limerick
I wonder if your world ended,
Would you know unless it trended,
Too distracted by flim-flam,
Like who’s playing Batman,
To see your brain has been blended.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

It doesn’t exist if it’s not on social media 😬
This is soooo true!
Sad but possibly true for many! Nice play on term flim-flam too! Well done ! ☘️
Blended brains ... flim-flam ... such creative use of language to drive home an important point. Well done.
Nicely done! And regretfully quite accurate to our modern world!
This poses an excellent question, and definitely reflects the absurdity of our world. Well done!
blended, indeed. Well done.
Ha ha! "Flim-flam" needs to be used more in writing!
Yep.. great social commentary on this one
Clever social commentary. Love it.
I think you’ve hit the “absurdities of life” part of the challenge pretty darn well in this
Very creative!
👍☺️🤣😂
This poem humorously points out the overwhelming influence of social media on our attention and priorities.
