That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 10, 2023

Diana taking aim at Cami…

/// Chaste Diana the Huntress— she spies

in the distance her twin in disguise.

“Could that wolf which I follow

be my brother Apollo?

Hard to tell with the sun in my eyes.”

She’s hunting the man who spurned her.

Cupid’s Mother filling in for her son…

There goes that theory about arrows making people fall in love. He was gonna be my valentine.

If that dress was any sheerer, the hunter would be the hunted.

I could swear it was a buck, where can we get some horns to stick on it?

Dianna, goddess, fulfill my wish,

Bring back the poet known as Ish,

He seems to be banned

From GoComics’ land,

for reasons most obscurish.

She shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth she knew not where.

Nubile Diana, the goddess tomboy,

Would give mortal men much great joy

If at flirty Venus’s urgin’

She stopped being a virgin

And romantic pleasures would enjoy.

.

In hidden groves she bathes demurely

Where on occasion poor men do surely

Disturb her modest personal space

Not on purpose, or with Ill grace,

But yet are punished, in any case.

Hmmmmm……Anyone else notice she’s a southpaw?

Obviously an ancestor of Dick Cheney.

“I yelled ‘Fore!”

Is it me, or is this Diana’s face much the same / As that of a princess with the same name? / Well, that’s not surprising. / There’s just no denying / The often high costs of beauty and fame.

The Grecian goddess, Diana/

Whilst not often mentioned in Ghana/

Was loved by the Greeks/

For her rosy pink cheeks:

And her motto:

“Mens sano in corpore sana!”*

•”a sound mind in a sound body”- Latin – as well you know. I’m well aware of this violation of meter- but the line’s just too good to pass up !

To my loyal friends who have expressed concern for my well-being, and appreciation for my past labors- I read your comments with tears in my beady little eyes! I am FINE- and doing battle via email with the censors. I hope my Diana limerick gets posted. Such is my vanity that I’m actually rather proud of it. Peace and joy unto all in the new year- and to my mighty rival, Sol, I pass the torch!

Katniss Everdeen surveys the competition and realizes she severely misjudged the wardrobe of this competition.

It’s a tight grouping, but still too high. Let me put on the 28-pound limbs and add a stabilizer.

MTG’s ancestor, hoping to shoot down the space aliens of a rival religious group.

“I paid that guy to run under the arrow with the target but I forgot we’re using paper targets today. Oh well, at least I’ll have one bullseye to my credit…”

“Apollo, you s**t! That isn’t Candaeon!”

“Darn it! Well, it’s Target store’s fault for choosing that logo.”

No, go on. You tell her this isn’t how you play Ultimate Frisbee.

Quit crying Homer, I only nipped your should? I was aiming at your groin!

“Ouch! That’s going to leave a mark. Sorry ’bout that”

We need to campaign for Ish to be reinstated…BRING ISH BACK! BRING ISH BACK! BRING ISH BACK! BRING ISH BACK!

“I think I see an outhouse over there … I REALLY gotta go!”

“Diana the Huntress”

With all the disgusting, INMHO, drivel available on social media, Ish, at his best was “naughty” but certainly not deserving of censorship. Those who flagged him must be in a minority and do not deserve to tell the rest of us what we can read or not read. REALLY!

Such a beautiful painting.

“Leda! Put down that swan, you don’t know where it’s been!!”

I shot my arrow

in to the air

It went

I knew not where

Till hearing the horrid screech

OOh good god

I done missed the Beech…

I finally did it

and I am glad

to do a poem

that no one

had…

Cupid; looking for a hard man scans the area and finds nothing.

“No dear, over here.”

Holy Cow! A Starbucks is that far away?

Based on Seignac’s other paintings, he must have said “Well, if you won’t go topless, I need some reason for you standing in this area. I know! Here … hold this”.
