Flora Giganticus was the best gardener in Rome.
The Spring of 43 AD was perfect for Strawberries.
One plant had a berry larger than a Pumpkin!
This crimson giant attracted many admirers. And soon
the Emperor wanted it for himself. When the Centurians
arrived they shouted..."We've come to seize your berry,
NOT to praise it!"
Thank you, Thank you very much....
Beware The Ides of March!!

Beware the Ides of March, in deed. Especially when it comes to your humor, G. Groooaaan.
HERE is my 55 for this week.
I am out of town trying to avoid those nasty Ides of March myself. Stopped climbing the walls long enough to share 55 words with my friends though. Have a kick ass weekend G!

That was berry good. *runs*
Mr G, I have one for you but it will go up first thing tomorrow.
LOL!
No, really, I laughed out loud. Memories of high school college-prep English came flooding in.
Never mind the twitching.
Beware the Ides Of March. :)
Thanks for another Friday 55!
Mine's here. :)
hey g---sorry i am late to the party...been at hospital for work...
hehe oh so berry good...and my what size you have there...smiles...

Now, what was the best response to a really good pun? Oh, yeah... "Booooooo!"
Kick Ass, G-man.
Mine is up
hahaha! *sigh* hedgewitch stole my comment.
I played and mine is up. It's a political one. :)
Flora Giganticus?? No, I'm not groaning. I didn't even roll my eyes. It's storming something awful tonight G. I hope you're snug as a bug. Please find my tribute to the Ideshere.
Is it okay if I groaned, G? Just a little, but I couldn't help it! :)
Have a stupendous weekend, Galen!
My 55: Picture It
You've got a thing for extra large goin' on here lately! :)
Squeezed this in as I was supposed to be typing my daughter's school report (she's working on other homework and I'm helping her with that too... (I SO hate math) ugh. So, I will be commenting tomorrow sometime...
A Blanket of Dreams

Oh heck, it is the Ides...or was. I was so busy I didn't even notice.
I hope the giant strawberry was tasty. Mine is food-related, too!
Don't Feed the Animals
Loving the 55s today.
*groan* then *giggle*
Mine's up.
An excellent flavour today.
You'll find mine here.
This is great! Thank you for a wisely witty nod to the Ides of March, a day that has significance in my household. My divorce from ex-husband just happened to be final on March 15. Then, over a decade later I met my now-husband whose divorce from his ex-wife fell on the same day. So we don't beware, we beamazed!
Mine is Fedelmid and Crundmáel- a jump ahead of St. Patrick's Day. Happy weekend to you!
Wow I love the idea of a large
berry- hope it wasn't disappointing
and bland- thanks!

Beware the humour oof the G-Man, more like! Great 55.
I'm in again this week.
I had forgotten that yesterday was the anniversary that the senate deposed the Ceaser and Brutus done sliced the berry up for his cereal..was that in Shakespeare?
Got me playing Again Galen
I want a strawberry that big :)
Mine's up:
Sloppy Joes
Have a great weekend Mr G
Why, G-man, what big berries you have there. ;)
Covering for a friend so mine's up at Therianverse today: Persons
I always miss the 'write a themed 55' bus... oh well. Good one, Mr. G-Man!
Here's mine: a class love story.
Now, I know why I should beware the Ides of March!
did it happen to be a 55fff sized berry?
Happy Weekend coming up
my ides
Reminds me of the old SNL bit with Garrett Morris as Chico Escuela - "Beisbol been berry, berry good to me. . ."
And, uh. . . what's an Ide?
Gotta love the name Flora Giganticus! (Very apt, G-Man!)
Add some dipping chocolate and champagne. Party time!
Mine is ready at Roses to Rainbows.
bery interesting 55.
I knew a Flora Giganticus back East. Best clogger I ever met too. Sadly she took to the drink and clogged all over her strawberry patch and nary a plant survived.
xo
Oooh, that is soooo bad! Of course I love a bad pun! So beware the March of Ides, and since there's nothing new under the sun why not try a little Moonshine:
Okay, I''ve dragged myself from bed and posted mine--couldn;t miss the friday punfest...er, funfest, though mine is a non-punny offering under the serious moonlight:
Yes and No
I hope I'm not the berry last one to the party this week. I am up.

The Ides of March are safely past. So it should be safe to post a late 55 in good time for the next full moon
And for my next trick I'll put in the correct link!
Galen: OOOOOOHHHHHH. Boy that thing is big.
Didn't get a 55er written. Sister in law is only given a month to live. Heading down to Florida. Tough time.
Will aim for week after next to write a scary one.
Best, D
