LIMERICKS.
There was a young man from Calcutta
Who frequently gorged upon butter.
One day this fat fellow
Turned buttercup yellow
And melted all over the gutter.
A sailor whose surname was Adam,
When in Scotland was warned by a madam,
"When asked what you are
Don't say you're a tar....
You may just end up as macadam".
A kangaroo in southern Australia
Ruefully scorned his regalia.
He said,"This my jumper
Is not right for a thumper.
As top dresser I feel I'm a failure.
To give you a pointer,a shark
Is a fish to avoid in the dark.
Its razor-sharp teeth
Can earn you a wreath
For its bite is much worse than its bark.
An observation I made is that your title should be a folder/catagory rather than a poem title. I don't know about other people, but seeing multiple poems on a page distracts me. It could just be me, though, because I got off of work with a fried brain and sore eyes. Anyway, I really enjoyed your short poems. They were cute and funny. That's not something I often have the opportunity to read. This is another kind of poem I'm not good at, but you are. So, hats off to you.
Hehe ....That's great...You have a very unique style with your poems...it's great, you are very talented.
perhaps it is the sunlight! who gorged
upon butter.. became the buttercups
and melted in the gutter
exquisite
Of course, limericks are supposed to be humorous and light-hearted! That's the beauty of them! I enjoyed this piece of work that you wrote here. Nice!
These are great, a good example for me just learning limericks... thanks...Eileen
I find that I have so much daram in my life that I tend to go for the more light hearted poems and I love the ones you write. Great sense of humour.
