Turnips

There was an old woman who noted
That the turnips upon which she doted
Gave her stomach a grudge
And the gas wouldn’t budge
Yes, the woman was feeling quite bloated

Birthday Limerick
By ANYA KRAMER
On the sixth I became an adult
Which should be a cause to exult
But I spent the event
Feeling quite discontent
I’m so lonely I might join a cult

Living in Memory
By CAITLIN STRONG
There is a young woman in the wood
Her mind is so misunderstood
She was frozen in time
In a land quite sublime
About to reenter her childhood.

Anniversary
By LOUISA MILLER-OUT
A whole year with COVID-19
The death count is simply obscene
Mask up, stay upbeat,
Endure Google Meet
Survive till you get the vaccine!

But fell and then started to cry
