In this week’s Reena’s Exploration Challenge #319, Reena invites us to write something inspired by the photo below. I wrote a limerick.

There were five empty seats on the train,
No one who sat in them stayed sane,
They were idiotic who did,
For they lost their mind and their id,
And went screaming down the platform in pain.
Lesley Scoble, February 2024
