100 Word Challenge for Grown ups #17


Well, Julia has excelled herself! 21 words and a rhyme!
This is the prompt:
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot…
Now it has a rhythm to it – yes? Your challenge this week is to write something with the same rhythm using only 21 words that include ‘ …in winter we shiver…‘ Easy!

Got to keep moving

November, November, in winter we shiver
Overcoat, muffler and hat.
On crunchy white path way
We eagerly race to the mat.


All I can say is I tried...

    Love the crunchy white pathway - but don't race too fast to the mat or you'll end up slipping on the ice.
