Madeleine Begun Kane @madkane.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The political scene's made me weary, And the onslaught of news makes me bleary.

Madeleine Begun Kane @madkane.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Oct. 7 is #BathtubDay! When it’s time to get clean, we can choose Either shower or #bathtub — I’ll use A hot shower each time Cuz I hate soapy slime, And in tubs the slime clings like tattoos. #SomethingEveryday #Bath #writesky #blueskypoetry #5amwritersclub #amwriting #Humor #Limericks #Poetry 2190

Madeleine Begun Kane @madkane.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That reminds me: For weeks, my husband & I've been getting many reminders to "activate" our new Discover Cards, the product of a Cap 1/Discover merger. But neither one of us has received a new card. (Our old ones are valid thru 7/2030.) Merger error, maybe. But I'm betting it's the post office. 010

Madeleine Begun Kane @madkane.bsky.social · 02/10/2026First I post a #raven #clerihew, & now I'm posting a #mountain #quatrain. Why no limerick today? Beats me! There are days I feel old as the hills And I long for those youth-making fountains. But this contrary thought gives me thrills: It’s better than old as the mountains. #vss365 #Humor #Poetry 1333

Madeleine Begun Kane @madkane.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Donald Trump is a madman, I swear! Was it nature, or nurture? Don't care! Asking why he's insane Is a waste of one's brain.
