A Song from the Suds
by Louisa May Alcott
Queen of my tub, I merrily sing,
While the white foam raises high,
And sturdily wash, and rinse, and wring,
And fasten the clothes to dry;
Then out in the free fresh air they swing,
Under the sunny sky.
I wish we could wash from our hearts and our souls
The stains of the week away,
And let water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure as they;
Then on the earth there would be indeed
A glorious washing day!
Along the path of a useful life
Will heart's-ease ever bloom;
The busy mind has no time to think
Of sorrow, or care, or gloom;
And anxious thoughts may be swept away
As we busily wield a broom.
I am glad a task to me is given
To labor at day by day;
For it brings me health, and strength, and hope,
And I cheerfully learn to say-
"Head, you may think; heart, you may feel;
But hand, you shall work always!"

Lyttlejoe's Busted Gulch Volume 14:
Two men, Mr. Done and Mr. Dusted offered to buy the hotel from Rue. She told them no and the hotel owner kicked them out. Marshal Law arrived in BG to take the prisoners. After he got some sleep, he would take them away from Busted Gulch. Ron was helping Bella out with the goats at the stables. CG went to the jail to talk to Ewell before the Marshal took him away. After talking to him, she went to the sheriff, knowing something was going on.

Random Poetry Prompt
Write a limerick about a frog.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Limericks were mostly told in taverns and bars and quickly got the reputation for being bawdy and lewd. They were repeated by beggars and the working class all through the countryside of England, Ireland and Scotland, during the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This short rhyming poem is indeed named after the town of Limerick, Ireland.
Even though these poems were thought of as "dirty", many were written as children's nursery rhymes and in 1845, Edward Lear published a book called 'The Book of Nonsense' in which he featured 72 limericks. Shakespeare was even known to write a Limerick every now and again.
A Limericks is a fairly easy poetry form to construct, here are the basics:
A Limerick is a five-line poem.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme and usually have 5 to 10 syllables.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme and usually have 5 to 7 syllables.
So, the rhyme scheme would be aabba.
They are also written with a particular rhythm that looks something like this:
bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH
bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH
bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH
bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH
bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH bah-bah-BAH
Please do not get bogged down in trying to get the rhythm perfect. This is a fun poetry style to write, so please give it a try!!
Check back next week for more limerick fun!!
