10 Hilarious Memes About Being Sleep Deprived from Reading

Posted in Re-Blogs, Uncategorized by

Megan McCullum provides us with 10 hilarious memes about being sleep deprived from reading. Thank you Megan!
We didn’t have much to laugh on ‘Writer’s Treasure Chest’ for too long.

Capital Nerd

If you love books, you’ve undoubtedly had to decide between getting some much needed shut-eye or reading just one more chapter — and by one more chapter, we mean the rest of the book. For those that tend to choose the “just one more chapter” option, check out these hilarious memes on the exhaustion that comes from staying up too late reading!

1. Many a good bibliophile will relate to this meme.

2. Raise your hand if you think being mentally present is highly overrated.

3. There are as many names for a book hangover as there are sufferers.

4. Some are as creative as the books that are keeping you up at night.

5. The reader in the family might not be the only one affected.

6. Yet the likelihood you’ll give up your routine is nil.

7. So you have to suffer through questions like this each day.

8. And…

Dangerous Shadow – A Riddle

Posted in My Work, Poems, Uncategorized by

*******************************************************************************************************

He is strong and he is fast

when he strikes, no prey to last.

He hunts in darkness quite with ease

not on the ground but also in trees

**

When he’s hungry, in greatest shape

he kills the monkey and the ape.

On the ground he hunts boar and deer

birds and reptiles live in fear.

**

He’s fast as lighting and still is proud

a soft footed hunter who’s never loud.

He lives alone most of his life

two of them end up in strife.

**

He’s beautiful but very rare

he’s shy and carries unique hair.

His fur was coveted long ago

he’s almost gone from what we know.

**

He can get three feet without the tail

to watch and hunt him ends in fail.

His teeth and claws do make him climb

and hide in trees for quite some time.

**

Strong he is, blends in and linked

soon enough he’ll be extinct.

He has been hunted, hauled and stalled…

Clouded leopard is he called.

An Elegant Gentleman – A Riddle

Posted in My Work, Poems, Uncategorized by

________________________________________________________________________

He’s an elegant fella, with a great fashion sense,

he wears timeless colors with pride, never tense.

White is his shirt, and there on his back

he carries a tailcoat in shiniest black.

**

Let’s have a look at his elegant wife

they love each other despite their hard life.

They live in a world with no roads and no street

The lady gives life to her brood on her feet.

 

**

Their world is so cold, where air freezes breath

everyone going will inevitably meet death.

And still, they found a way to survive

give birth and feed, walk, slide, swim and dive.

**

Their existence is hard and is constant danger

and to us it couldn’t be any stranger.

But to them, it’s normal, to walk, slide and try

to survive by swimming because they can’t fly.

 

**

Six different ones are living on ice

the same hard life in misery, not nice.

And still our fella is happy in his elegant dress

He’s a penguin – right. Did you guess?
