What Will I Be When I Grow Up?
Do you need some poetry prompts? This week’s poetry inspiration over at Totally Optional Prompts is a trio of sardonic work-related quotes. And that brings me to my latest limerick:
What Will I Be When I Grow Up?
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Ev’ry decade I change my career.
The first used my musical ear.
I tried lawyering second,
Till humor scribe beckoned.
What’s next? I just can’t wait to hear.
(You can find more of my employment humor here, my music humor here, and my legal humor here.)

Limericks are always fun. The last line is always like the prize in a box of Cracker Jack - lots of anticipation and then the payoff. Thanks!

:-) It was a great relief when I finally realized I wasn’t going to grow up at all, & so didn’t need to worry about it.

I like your wonderful sense of humor and I love the hat. I am a hat person as well. They give me a sense of style that nothing else can achieve.
