Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line, the rest is up to us. Here is my effort:
.
A love smitten guy was irate
When he found his sweet love in a state
Politely described
As ‘over imbided’
And in bed with the coxless eight*.
◊◊◊
A love-smitten guy was irate
That his member refused to inflate.
The eye of his affection
Consoled his dejection
But privately said it was great.

*For the technically minded (= pedantic) a rowing eight is never coxless,
but what is the use of poetry if you can't use poetic licence?

A love-smitten guy was irate
When he saw it was quarter to eight
They’d been standing in line
When she’d noticed a sign
Now her shopping was making them late!
Love both limericks. I must tell you you have that special knack for words and more daring than most! Good show!
Nice one, Celia.
Thank you, Kaykuala
J Cosmo, I love the second one. It gave me a smile which I really needed. You are a brave poet, and I appreciate that.
Love them both dear J Cosmo; you have a very clever and witty talent with words,poetry and prose. :)
xoxoxo ♡
Thanks so much for your fun contributions to this week's Limerick-Off!
And Celia, I hope you'll consider joining in too!
Lets hear it for more limericks - especially those not involving Nantucket and the vulgar rhymes thereof.
Good ones.
Ha! loved it :))
Brilliant - as usual!
Thanks again for participating in my Limerick-Offs. I just posted a new one and hope to see you there!
