inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 22 February 2022, mimic.
A terrible busker from Bootle,
Plagued his wife with his every last tootle,
Every sharp, every flat,
Until one day she snapped,
And while she now has peace, it was brutal.

I had no idea there was a place called Bootle!

prompt work was mimic. Otherwise, it bears no relation.

I don’t think he even realised the second verse was a mimic of the first…..

In fairness, the limerick wasd nothing to do wioth anything. The doubling-up was only relevant when you spotted the prompt word right at the top.
It’s good ‘cos it allows me to write about anything that comes into my head.
He had a prompt word “repeated” a few weeks back. Something like that. I just wrote a totally random rhyme and copied it ten times.
At least you got away with twice today 🤣
