In Pisa, the roots of a plant Sent a tower somewhat on a slant They planned to recover it With help from the government But got straight-up stopped at the grant. #limerick #limericks #VSSThreads

The machine was a marvel. It could grant wishes, in a prosaic fashion that actually worked. Given a desire, it would output the simplest steps necessary to bring it about. All the wisher had to do was follow the plan. Wishes lose their luster when work is involved. #VSSThreads

[BLACK LOBE] Energy is not produced for free. Everything comes with a cost. This is fair when the ones making the calculations are the ones paying the cost, and deeply unfair when it is not. reddit.com/r/micahwrites/… #WritingCommunity #amwriting #horror #shortstory

@amjuster Autocorrect has played me for a folk!

@micahwrites tut tut--3rd & 4th lines have to rhyme. Good idea, though.

Al Capone died in default But left rumors of a roomy vault Treasure hounds wanted jewels But he played them for folks And left just emptiness to #exalt. #limerick #limericks #vss365

There once was a stoner named Randall Who tried to get high off a candle He had coughing attacks After swallowing wax And said, "Man, this trip's too hot to handle!" #limerick #limericks #VSSThreads

They were loud and laughing as they entered the house, no fear in their thoughts or guts. They laughed about those who believed in ghosts. They wandered off separately to investigate the house. They did not see the handle of the front door slowly sink into the wood. #VSSThreads

The papers called the interstellar object "The Big Banana." It was curved and smooth and bright yellow, exactly like an #immense banana. Probes showed no chemical difference from the Earth fruit. It was big. It was ripe. And it was on a collision course with Earth. #WeirdVSS

In Panama, the ice cream man Was so hot for teacher named Fran She said, "When it's love, jump!" He said, "You really got me, chump! I'll wait in my halen van!" #limerick #limericks #VSSThreads

Van 21 was not for rental. Not for short trips. Not for emergencies. Not if it was the last on the lot. You looked the customer in the eye and said there were none left. Unless they really deserved it. Renters of van 21 came back different, if they came back at all. #VSSThreads

Grey Michael will always #exalt in power. There can never be enough. He will reach unimaginable heights, and in so doing destroy the world. The Whispering Man is self-effacing. He will destroy the world, and in so doing reach unimaginable heights. The Librarian knows. #vss365

An Amtrak conductor who sucked Took a line they had yet to construct For the sixty deaths there They sent him to the chair But he lived, 'cause he couldn't #conduct. #limerick #limericks #vss365

Few choose to #conduct the Solemn Symphony. It was written as a cruel form of execution. The music is beautiful, but if there is the slightest slip of the baton, the conductor will drop dead at the final note. The conductor always dies. Survival was only a false hope. #vss365

A coder was coding one night With a program too big by one byte With a lime soda hit He swallowed one bit And hid 7 up his 8 bit #sprite. #limerick #limericks #vss365

Of all the fairies, sprites are the least trustworthy. They have awareness and ambition, but no real power. It is all concentrated in those above them. They are jealous and greedy. Make no deal with a #sprite. They will promise everything and deliver nothing at all. #vss365

Though the hairdresser had been effusive The man found her words inconclusive His bald spot was covered By hair carefully hovered But he felt it all somewhat #illusive. #limerick #limericks #vss365

The Forgotten City is not #illusive, shifting though its streets are. Every brick and stone of it is real. It was built by human hands with the goal of human use. Its emptiness is no commentary on its reality, only a condemnation of the fickle nature of human attention. #vss365

Said Sherlock, "Most crimes I can solve From locked doors to knives that dissolve But this man was shot And I can't see by what You're saying this gun can #revolve?" #limerick #limericks #vss365

The doors to the theater are barred. The windows are shut. Power and water have long since been cut. The ghost light still burns somehow. A ballerina dances on stage most nights. She climbs up from the sewers to don her costume and gracefully #revolve for no one at all. #vss365
