LIMERICK 61

Michael Edwards

 

 

There was young lass called Meg

who went to work on an egg

but the weight of her bum

caused the shell to succumb

and the yolk dribbled all down her leg.

    Good limerick Michael.

    Is that a Rioja I espy there?

    • Michael Edwards

      Home brew - no label . Not one of my best (the painting that is) but thought I'd post it anyway.

      • Goldfinch60

        Nothing wrong with the Painting Michael, I was sitting at the table to one side of the picture.

        Oh lol, a fine write Michael. Did she fit wheels to the egg?

        As for the pic, nothing wrong with it. I was inspire, of all things, to write a poem on a painting: 'Bread, Jam, and Knife' or something like that. I may post it one day.

          Don't forget the cheese Orchi - stilton of course.

          • orchidee

            Emmenthal cheese too - only eat the holes?

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes indeed and it's easier if you turn them inside out.

              • orchidee

                Miss Berles gone to Burlington today? Will she meet Bertie there?

                • Michael Edwards

                  They are going out for Sunday lunch - they said they wanted to enjoy a joint together.

                  there are so many possible responses that spring to mind.. but I shall refrain.. at least for the time being... a cracking good limerick Michael and a rather tasty looking cheese and biscuits too... cheers, Neville

                  • Michael Edwards

                          He must be a bit backward.

                          • orchidee

                            That evening going backward?

                          • dusk arising

                            oh i do love some crackers and cheese
                            when the veins match my legs if you please
                            though a full bodied red
                            just before bed
                            evokes dreams filled with plenty of sleaze

                            i do love to see limericks on here
