Marvin thought he’d make a good hubby.
Elvira was a little bit chubby.
So Marv figured Elvira wouldn’t turn down his proposition.
Smugly, he waited, never expecting any opposition.
Yet she did, citing that she couldn’t be with someone so grubby.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.

Hah! Good for Elvira. 😁
Loved reading this. I loved how you used the word Messy.
So lovely 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Great acrostic poem - When I got done with it -kinda reminded me of reciting humpty -dumpty. Nicely Done!!!
Haha an acrostic on the couple!!
Heheh. Fun, grubby acrostic and Limerick, M Combs! 😄
Cute and clever! I love it Mother! 🌸💕
Certainly helps explain my lack of success with those of the female persuasion.
A well-wrought poem combining the two forms!
Love the funny and snappy tone in this poem. It's brilliant how in just 5 lines you gave us a complete picture highlighting Marvin's arrogance, Elvira's rejection - the satisfying twist.
Such a hilarious little twist — poor Marvin never saw it coming. Loved the punch at the end!✨
Well, he shouldn't have sold himself and his lady short! Cute limerick, Sharon!
Love it!
They would have made a Perfect couple!! That’s not fair 🥹🤣
Lol 😂🤣 This was good!
😂 Delightful. Such a fun thing to read first thing in the morning.
One is chubby and one is grubby. They could get together just because it rhymes, lol. So happy to read your Acrostic-Limerick!
Ha-ha, loved this verse and the cartoon for the image, Sharon!
lol, interesting writing!
Lol... At least she was honest. Good one, Mother!
