One thing I love about being in a pop choir is I get to discover powerful songs like this one that I have somehow missed. If you’ve never heard it, give a listen. #TheJoke #music #life #love

It’s incredible how the sky from yesterday’s walk matches the opening spreads of #ButterflySea. Art by @marielaurecouet.bsky.social matches the February mood. It’s a picture book about a young photographer searching for butterflies but it’s really about relationships, making memories, and hope.

And so Tom's Olympics career Ended faster than frat rats chug beer. His wings now in plaster Tom knew he could master A gobbling GO TEAM!! turkey cheer. Yay for diehard couch-thletes!!!! Turkey Tom's #LimerickSunday adventures by @jengelmattern.bsky.social, @booksbycindy.bsky.social

Tom gave it a roll of the die, How bad could it be??? uh-oooooooh, my!!!! He slipped over the lip With a 1020 flip As feathers flew into the sky. Turkey Tom's #LimerickSunday adventures by @jengelmattern.bsky.social, @booksbycindy.bsky.social

Tom studied Olympic events, gobbling his turkey's lament. His skills were not suited He'd surely be booted, From snow-boarding's half-pipe descent. Turkey Tom's #LimerickSunday adventures by @jengelmattern.bsky.social, @booksbycindy.bsky.social

But Tom was a failure at broom His wings flapped too weakly to groom the curling sheet's ice once—twice—and then thrice. Tom curling career was thus doomed. Turkey Tom's #LimerickSunday adventures by @jengelmattern.bsky.social, @booksbycindy.bsky.social

There's something about a turkey doing luge that makes me smile. But what about.... Tom perched on his sofa with tea watching Thiessen curl rocks on TV. He felt so inspired and no longer tired, so he started a rock-sliding spree. Turkey Tom's #LimerickSunday adventures

Who else is watching Olympics on #LimerickSunday ?? ⛸️
