Multitasking Mania (Limerick and Haiku Prompt 2)
Welcome to my 2nd Poetry Prompt. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to write a limerick or haiku (or both) on this week’s theme, which is Multitasking. When you’ve posted your poem, please return here and add a direct link to your multitasking-related verse, using Mr. Linky.
Here’s my multitasking limerick, which was inspired by this news story: Runny Pasta Sauce Nabs Hit And Run Driver.
Just Desserts
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s risky to drive while you eat,
Most especially pasta with meat:
Slurping red sauce is rash—
You might very well crash
And leave evidence trails head to feet.
And here’s my multitasking themed haiku:
Lectured to not do
Two things at once, he obeyed
And always did three.
(If you need some tips on limerick or haiku writing, I link to some helpful sites here.)

Hi Mad,
Multitasking’s Mad!
Still haven’t had time to figure out Limericks yet but will get there in the end.
Here’s my Haiku:

this was so fun i got to do one of each……
An attempt on limerick only this time.
Love that limerick. I think I saw you driving past.
No reason for me saying you’d not given up. Just kind of joking — obviously doing a crappy job of it — as you’re only on your second prompt. I’ve known of a few that peter out, but they kinda weren’t good to begin with. I think you’ve got something very good in the making.
I’m going to take your word for the first, and consider trying the second. :)
Enjoyed them both!

Thanks everyone. I’m glad you’re enjoying my multitasking mania and giving my prompt a try.
