LIMERICK 57

Michael Edwards

 

 

There was an old man from Guadeloupe

who added Viagra to his soup

now the flavour was poor

but he suffered no more

from the awful affliction of Guadeloupe droop.

    Thank you Michael for my first laugh of the day.

    I do like the series of trees that you have been putting on with your poems, they are wonderfully stark in their nature.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Andy - this is the last of the current batch and they are all now mounted (unframed) and wrapped in cellophane ready for open studios in May. Off the framers yet again this morning - so far this year I have done exceptionally well in sales with 12 already changed hands and more in the pipeline.

        That is great Michael, another couple of bottles of Gin into your collection no doubt.

      • orchidee

        You returned - and I've swooned! Should Fido bark at this?! lol.

      • Suresh

        Entertaining Michael, both forms of art.

        • Michael Edwards

          Thanks so much Suresh - I'm running out of art work although poetry stocks are rising.

          This is not funny.. this is very serious, seriously funny.... Neville

          • Michael Edwards

            Thanks Neville - when I wrote it i unlaughed hilariously.

            • Neville

              understandable

              Am giggling at this - thought that potion was the cat's whiskers for undroopiness Michael..........

              • Michael Edwards

                It should be very good - It stands up to all the tests. ✔

                There was a young POET called EDWARDS
                Who causeously made his way BEDWARDS
                He slipped on the Mat and fell flat on his Hat
                And now he has hair like the JEDWARDS !

                HI MON ONCLE MIKE ! Love the minimalist drawing
                and the very droll Limerick ! Must remember not to
                dring too much (Dutch Courage) @ Our Wedding !
                Brewers DROOP is a Wedding Night ~ POOP !

                Love Peace & Joy
                BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

                  Ah Mon Oncle - Jaques Tati - one of my all time favourites. I'm in very minimalist mode today - just commented about Bedwards against your posting today . Some drink too much on purpose - but not me!! Well I do but I didn't on my wedding night!

                  Michael,

                  Great artwork and
                  a hilarious write!
                  That Blood Orange gin
                  sounds divine!
                  Cin Cin...
                  Maestro!

                  ~Laura~

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Thanks Laura - please believe me it sure is but I still prefer Sloe gin - it's the tops!!

                  • orchidee

                    Fido did not bark - he read it as Niagara. Can't see much harm in a waterfall, he said. You got the gin out?!

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Only falls get it wrong - surely Fido is not a fall.
