I will avoid those Isles of Langerhans.
Esther offers "heat" for this week's limerick: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/05/...-limerick-284/
Though I thought it was hot it was not,
since the heat got much hotter. I got
a fine thought for a verse
(not a whiny, cold curse)
as the heat got much worse than just hot.
My blog: https://frankhubeny.blog/
Lol, enjoyed... will not be enjoying the hot weather to come.
On a lighter note:
heat of the momenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0KxqxWeZGo
itt shed in the heat of the moment
hardly Brobdingnagian did itt went
shedding its floor length hirsute
alarmingly during any dispute
such is the winter of itt's discontent

Nice warning in that song "Heat of the Moment". Even Brobdingnagians don't like the heat.
Esther offers "road" for this week's limericks: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/06/...-limerick-285/
Like a hog he was hogging the road
and he carried a hoggish, huge load.
Well, we all tried to pass
but we couldn't alas,
so we let the huge hog hog the road.

the roadie
the roadie was knowledgeable but humble
like from a turnip truck he must'a took a tumble
but when the show must go on
and the band's drummer had gone
he stepped up to the kit and did rumble

Those canyon roads must be very narrow. It is good that one can always find a replacement drummer for the show to go on.
Esther offers "jelly" for this week's limericks: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/06/...-limerick-286/
Shocking Jelly Donut Love Song
They filled a fine donut with jelly
and they said it was good for your belly.
Though it tasted quite good
as my mouth said it should,
my fine belly was shocked by the jelly.
My blog: https://frankhubeny.blog/
Yes, very narrow country roads with many hairpin turns.
Lol... I think one filled donut once in a long while is ok, but yes - a shock to the system. Enjoyed
Back later with my offering...

On the High Seas
The Portuguese Man o' war has no fear of jellies
who eat Medusas with relish to fill their bellies
however Blue Dragons and Violet Sea Snails
and some turtles and fish are drawn to their sails
their ruthlessness rivaling Machiavelli's

I've sometimes seen stranded jellyfish on the Atlantic Ocean beaches. Those Velella velella look similar but smaller. I never thought about before what they ate.
Esther offers "bills" for this week's limericks: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/06/...-limerick-287/
There are birds with their bright shiny bills.
There are words that delight with their thrills.
There's a this for each that.
Here's a kiss for my cat.
There is summer to fight winter's chills.
My blog: https://frankhubeny.blog/
"Here's a kiss for my cat."... how delightful this interjection. Enjoyed

Bills
Shakespeare himself was a Bill
and he deported himself, well, with will
Then there's that dude from 1066,
and Star Trek, (4) Star Wars, and Styx
even a commander of the American Escadrille

There are a lot of Bills! I wasn't able to connect to the site yesterday, but it is clearly working today.
Esther offers "train" for this week's Laughing Along With A Limerick: https://estherchilton.co.uk/2026/06/...-limerick-288/
Busy Train
There once was a tiny toy train
protected from weather like rain.
It went “choo-choo” all day
in a circular way
and it circled again and again.
My blog: https://frankhubeny.blog/
EnjoyedWe put ours on top of a baby grand piano.
Back later...
Binaural Beats: Crown Chakra
I followed a train of thought in prayer
for the express purpose to square
the flower of life within a circle
through revelation, not empirical
a pure white lotus blossom resonated midair

I’ve been missing this thread, gents.
Switch Man’s sleeping…
Casey Jones was driving that train
As he hummed a joyful refrain
There’s trouble ahead
We’ll all wind up dead
‘Til the main-line’s rolling again
The real-world incident didn’t resolve this easily. Jones stayed at his post, braked hard, and alerted others with his steam whistle, saving those on his and the other train. Jones perished. And despite the popular GD tune, he was not “high on cocaine.”
Uhhhh...
You and your pointed humor were missed too, Sancho.

Thanks guys. It's good to be back. Been busy, busy, busy, also has this website been glitchier than normal or is it just me? Anyway, it's one of the things I kinda like about this place.
As Grateful Dead train songs go, I've always liked The Monkey and the Engineer tune:
(Another in their long list of tragedy songs)
https://share.google/vpCWZpBhNQXvPIuLm
"The monkey pulled the throttle, locomotive jumped the gun, and made ninety miles an hour down the mainline run"
I like the propane idea. My wife, who is a social worker at a local hospital, spends a lot of time dealing people who've blown out their hearts with that drug. Yeeech'
Uhhhh...
