LIMERICK 76

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

A security guard from Symons Yat

was easy to spot ‘cause his nose was flat

and the reason why

is because the poor guy

collided one night with a baseball bat.

    Hi again Mike - so glad to see the posting of your wonderful artwork again and grin at your great sense of humour - hope all is going better for you and yours as the new year begins.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thank you Fay - looking forward to a better year but have just heard my son's dog (cockerpoo 12 years old) has just had to be put to sleep thanks to cancer - he was loved by us all and very poignant given my wife's illness.

      Hehe! Great limerick. Your painting is lovely.

      I love a good limerick, and this certainly is one Michael. Also, the landscape you've painted above it, is brilliantly done!

      If this limerick is biographical, I hope the guard is OK, but if he deserved it, then may his flat nose be a constant reminder, haha!

      Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

        Local landscape - Kilby Bridge Leics - and he wasn't on his guard lol - thanks for looking in AS.

        thanks Michael

        Silly sod! Lol

          Wasn't on his guard - caught nose before wicket. 😖

          A good chuckle at night night time here in Colorado. Limericks are much needed in these harsh times.

          Never a baseball bat, but my schnoz is jacked from a punk rock concert.

          Good fun words Michael.

          Andy
