Old man yesterday had a choice
Buy medicine or food without a voice
Cure the ills or make a meal
Picking only one is an ordeal
If you don’t have to choose, rejoice!

This is for the latest Vocal challenge that you can read about below. The limerick only clocks in at thirty words, but I hope it brings a smile to your face. I can't change the font or size in the Vocal editor so took a screenshot of my limerick as well

Angela Bassett Is Allowed To Be Upset
I stream everything I watch these days, so I didn’t watch the Academy Awards, but I read the live updates posted on The Hollywood Reporter’s website. When I read that Angela Bassett lost the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress last night, I headed over to my favorite town crier app, Twitter, to see what was being said about it. Black Twitter was up in arms, as well they should be, but I also saw some questionable tweets from White people regarding Ms. Bassett’s reaction when her name was not called as the winner of the award. Some of the tweets I saw were saying her reaction to not winning was classless, that she is an entitled Black actress who was upset at not winning an award because she is Black, that she should have smiled and applauded the woman who won.

All too common a choice these days. It’s as though we’ve gone back in time. You captured this perfectly. Well done! 💕🙂
This is a wonderful limerick that highlights the difficult choices faced by those in need, and reminds us to be grateful for the abundance in our own lives.👌💗💗💗
So sad this is a reality for so many 😢 Well done!
Too many people are forced to make this choice. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
