The Games We Play- Magpie 47


There once was a game called twister

That I would play for hours with my sister

We would contort our limbs about

Turning this way and inside out

Until all of our joints had blisters

    I remember that party game - the piece does look like more unnatural poses

  15. That was a sweet limerick. Thank you for the kind words about my mother. She was also 65, she died on the 18th of December two days before her birthday. I am still in shock and trying to cope. I miss her terribly.

  25. Such a lovely take on the prompt. Very clever.

    When I read 'twister' I immediately thought of all the other things I could have come up with including 'contortionist'!!
