January Limerick Contest

Get creative this January and join our limerick contest! We're celebrating the subtle joys and freedoms found in simpler living. Let's see how you can capture the channel's message in a limerick.

How to Enter:
- Craft a limerick that captures one of the themes of the channel, such as the joys of a simpler, less materialistic life, the superiority of small town and/or rural living to the life of urbanites, the selfishness of mainstream living, how great the 🖼️ is, how nobody would like it in the 🖼️, etc.
- Post your creation in the chat. You can reply here or post elsewhere in the chat – we'll make sure to find and consider all entries.
- No limit on number of entries, so long as it doesn't get spammy.
- Deadline is January 31st at 8:00 PM EST

Here are my terrible examples:
With pockets so heavy with gold,
The rich move through life, uncontrolled.
But those with less weight,
Find an easier fate,
And their freedom is more than tenfold.


In a tiny town, where life is serene,
Folks find joy in a world so green.
With acres to roam,
And a modest home,
Their happiness is felt, not just seen.


The Superior Lake reflected the sky's clear blue,
And the U.P. seemed to be calling you.
But then you saw a bear,
Couldn't stand the cold air,
Knew you wouldn't like it here, and withdrew.


Prize:
The winner will receive a year of Telegram Premium for free the evening of January 31st.

Some additional entries will be posted to the channel.

Best of luck! This should be fun

It's January. There's a pile of snow in my yard that's about 200 cubic feet. It's about 0°F outside. And somehow a fly gets in
