You are good at what?

Post by SereneCharles »

What is your forte?

Mine is writing

My sister's is ballet

My brother's is diving

Mum's is cooking

My dad's is typing

Our dog's is pooping

Bruno's (cat) is hiding
Writing is so much fun. So is reading. :techie-studyingbrown:

A fun poem, thanks! I'm not sure I know what I am good at. Not yet anyways. I would love to be a writer but I never seem to be able to get the ideas out of my head the way I want them to be.

“What is your forte’?”
I don’t really know,
But I’m first to be summoned
To shovel the snow,
Or to tidy the lawns
On a hot summer day.
“Go, fix the car.”,
Is the mandate today.
It seems I am valued
For all of these tasks
Or to run a quick errand
When anyone asks.
My skill sets are legion
My performace sublime
All tasks completed
In reasonable time.
I am called on to answer
Each varied behest.
Will someone please help me?
I’m being forte’d to death!
“I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room.”

Loved the line about the dog! My dogs forte is, unfortunately, eating poo.
