Recipe for an Open Bag of Chips (In Limerick Forme)
Yeah. That.
You start with a closed bag of chips,
Then pull apart from the top bits.
Let out all the air,
Hey, that's way too much air.
Dude, I think they shortchanged me on chips.

I loved the sound of a million wings flapping inside of her, even if it drowned me out. “It’s a medical device,” she would lie, and I never wanted to see right through it, but something inside me always did. And maybe it was when she said things like Did you know that you can buy 1500 live ladybugs on Amazon for two dollars? or when she told me Insect screens give the illusion of freedom but stop just short of the real thing, but I started having my suspicions early on in the relationship that she might be a bunch ladybugs in the mantle of a person.

L.C. Shaëfer and Paul Stewart inspired me to finally participate in the #IronMaiden critique challenge. (Go check out their articles, linked previously.) I have made a list of stories I feel could use more insights, whether from lack of engagement here, or because they were rejected elsewhere, or simply because I've come to cringe at them and would like to like them again.

#same. Loving the rhymes. Chips and chips? Such innovation. 🙃😜 But seriously, I have never written a limerick, so I'm not judging. Plus, I love every limerick I read. This was so fun, so true, and ultimately, kinda sad. We deserve full chip bags.
Shrinkflation was never new with these airbags 😒. Well done!
