LIMERICK No 64

Michael Edwards

 

 

There was an old man from Belize

who was born with back to front knees.

It proved quite a curse

but at least in reverse

he could walk with consummate ease.

    A fine write and pic M. I saw someone carrying shopping and walking backwards one day. Oh well - maybe he was from Belize too?!

  • Saxon Crow

    Apparently he was a rwal hit with the flamingoes. Good write Mike

  • dusk arising

    he jad also two heads on one neck
    one looked forward the other looked 'beck' (use a posh pronunciation plse)
    one head was quite gobby
    the other quite snobby
    but they seldom, if ever, would chat

  • Alan .S. Jeeves

    A witty and humerous write Michael. Are you sure it wasn't inspired by someone using their mobile phone on the hoof?
    It seems that the little man (aged 4) is serious competition to his grandad!

    Kind regards, Alan
