LIMERICK 141

LIMERICK No 141

 

When she took to the veil I didn’t chastise her

I tried to be friendly, I tried to advise her

but she persisted

and once enlisted

she was given the name of Nun The Wiser.

    A fun limerick that leaves me in doubt if it is a backhanded comment about the author. Love your limericks

    • Michael Edwards

      It probably is - thanks sorenbarratt.

    • Cheeky Missy

      Hahaha, you're too downright clever! What a gas in the name of the freighted day. Delightfully rendered with awesome imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

      • Michael Edwards

        My pleasure - what a lovely comment - thank you.

                  Where will it Rome?

                  • Teddy.15

                    To the very vaticano to the pope even though not so well he will probably chuckle 🀭

                    • Michael Edwards

                      Oh go ahead please and send it to Rome
                      Such a long way - so far from home
                      He's not a dope
                      that chuckling Pope
                      I'm sure he'll laugh at my little tome

                      • Teddy.15

                        lol 🌹

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        A most succinct commentary on the alleged spiritual superiority of the religious over a heathen such as meself… also a good larf, Michael.

                        Essence of tranquility and potential pleasure, your picture.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Fun words Michael.

                      • Thomas W Case

                        Tremendous.

                        • Michael Edwards

                          Thanks Thomas - some may argue its not a true limerick as it isn't anapestic but so what!
