Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were careful, hug and mistake.
A limerick, of sorts.
Snakes in the Grass
It can be a grievous mistake
To hug a bad tempered snake;
If you're not very careful
Your mates will spin their bull
To console your wife at your wake.

Very amusing limerick - I like! Careful with the meter though - it gets jerky from line four. A flowing, consistent meter is essential when limericking.
ReplyDeleteGranted, it doesn't really have the right rhythm. The night is late, I will fiddle with it tomorrow. Thanks.
DeleteNah. Changed my mind. Let it slip into obscurity.
DeleteOh, dear... no hugging snakes.
ReplyDeleteWould anyone prefer to hug a cane toad?
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't think so.
And if you are so foolish as to hug a snake - your wife is better off without you. No bull.
