Yummy!...................Sunday Scribblings

This time the Sunday Scribblings prompt is yummy. Very yummy!

Whenever we say or hear the word, it reminds us of love or food. Not necessarily in that order. I like baby smells. Those are yummy too. Yummy covers a whole gamut of unexpressed words. When we are unable to find any other word, we say yummy. Yummy!

Easier said than done. I thought this is was an easy enough prompt. It would be rather a cakewalk. But here I am dilly-dallying. My mind has gone blank. No yummy ideas anywhere..

I look out of the window. The weather is as gloomy as my thoughts…dark, drab and wet. Nothing yummy about such weather. What is it that is yummy for now?

I might as well give up on writing about this or maybe the following limerick would do? Last night I had an upset stomach. Here is to that:

With a heaving and upset tummy
I feel like an useless dummy
Looking at food
For now is, no good
I am least inclined to say yummy!


................................................................................

Even writing poetry doesn't feel yummy right now..

  2. That is a fun limerick.

    P.S. My last roommate was Indian and while she was very Americanized, having been born here, her mom's food (That she brought home periodically) was definitely yummy!

  4. Nice job on a grey gloomy day. We had one here, too. The rain just pours down -- we need it. It was a good day to stay inside where it's cozy and warm and yummy. :-)

  9. Oh Gautami, you are very clever and creative. The introduction to your limerick is by itself an ineteresting piece of work. You really know how to make a play on words.

  10. Good for you for finding a silver lining amidst the drab weather and upset tummy. It's nice to run across a well-done limerick — what a pleasant surprise!

    I hope you're feeling better.

  21. At first I didn`t have a clue. Yummy? It sounded so silly! But then a girl I work with made a suggestion and I thought, "Of course! I`ll do that!"
    By the way, cute rhyme. Have a good week.

    Mike :)

  25. Hi - sorry I am late - no electricity in my building for 24 hours so no computer. I like your take on the prompt - sort of an opposite of yummy!
    Namaste

  27. I was wanting something yummy
    in my tummy
    but the rain
    drove me insane
    and left me feeling like a dummy

  29. I loved your ruminatings on the yummy word. It really is a good and highly inclusive word -while still remaining quite descriptive.

    Good usage in the limerick too! :-)

  30. fun limerick, even yummy tee hee :)

  31. Hi G- I also think of love or food when I think of the word yummy. It's such a warm word. Ooooh, so nice about baby smells.
    I'm sorry you had an upset stomach recently. Your, limerick, however, is so free and light. It hits the "Yummy" spot to my eyes and ears. Hope you're feeling better by now. :)
