This week let’s write a whim poem. Ever done something on a whim that turned out to be a big mistake? Or did it end up being the best thing ever? Or was it merely whimsical? Post your whimsies in the comments below.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Whim
Living Poetry 
On a Whim?
It seems sometimes
if not for a whim, nothing,
not a thing would I have done
planning was not a strong suit
had never worked out when I did
so why bother to plan and fret
or stay home and do naught
it’s more fun to just do
a whole life of whim!

but I never thought it would
be a thing for real
until Emerald Isle’s waters
surrounded my bare behind
whimsical? I think so
fun? You betcha!
Do it again?
Splish Splash!

Bob and me
again
a cavalcade of bottles in front of us
“It sound like a good plan… you should go”
and off to Salsiccia he went.
I’m sure it worked out for him.

Posted by Bartholomew Barker | January 18, 2021, 7:07 PMFunny! I have to ask. When I looked up Salsiccia I found sausage. Is there a place called Salsiccia or am I missing something?

Posted by Lisa Tomey | January 19, 2021, 2:18 PMThank you for asking! One of my friends from school was passionate about The Simpsons. This week’s prompt about “Whim” drew a blank in me, except for one of his favorite characters: Sideshow Bob, with fictional children’s TV show called “The Cavalcade of Whimsy”… I just went with it.
A later episode of The Simpsons finds that Bob left America and somehow became the Mayor of Salsiccia.. Needless to say that Bart and family ruined it for poor Bob. 🙂

Posted by Chris Clarke | January 19, 2021, 5:22 PMthank you for enlightening me! I have never been one for The Simpsons, just no reason, but I suppose there must have been something else on. Or it could be that I don’t like cartoons much, except I will confess an occasional watch of Family Guy.
