607 : A Woman with Beautiful Eyes

Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line,
the rest is up to us.

A woman with beautiful eyes
Enchanted the neighbourhood guys.
But her angelic demeanour
Covered a sick, mean whore;
A nasty old witch, in disguise.

  1. If this is being a poem about my goodly self I will be ripping your eyes from the sockets in your commoner head! I am being a princess!

    1. Really princess, you are being far too sensitive. it is just a limerick in response to a prompt. Any resemblance to the living, the dead or the imaginary is purely coincidental.

  3. Do you know what, Cosmo? I was thinking only a short while ago...in about the last hour or so...I really do enjoy your verses. You have a wonderful way with words; and the rhyming thereof; and you do it so well. Thank you. :)

    3. I have no say in the matter at all, Sancho...Cosmo does as he wishes and as he likes; and he does it well. And I know you agree, or you wouldn't stick around! :)

      I believe in giving credit when and where credit it is due. I don't hand out flattery to all and sundry; just to those who deserve it. :)

    Do you know what, Cosmo? I was thinking that you probably need a couple of photographs of my body bits to inspire your poetry.I have a very nice photo of my finger but unfortunately not much imagination or a sense of humour.

    1. No tattoos you can send me pictures of? Is it true you have one on your bum that says 'Spanky-poos'?

      What kind of person would send pictures of that nature? Someone with a very low IQ from a seriously disadvantaged socio economic background...possibly traumatised by being an enforced sex slave for numerous years.

    3. Honestly Doctor, it was just an innocent question. If I don't bite the bullet and ask these questions, how will I ever know? Perhaps it didn't say 'Spanky-poos'. Perhaps it said 'Abandon hope all ye who enter here'. But that would require both cheeks, I suspect.

      You are a most unfortunate creature J Cosmo Newbery.I suggest that you elevate your thoughts and function on a more lofty altruistic plane. This vulgarity does not become you.Use St Francis of Assisi as your model and meditate on God's creatures,the delicacy of the beautiful blue wren and the song of the nightingale.
