LIMERICK 32

Michael Edwards

 

 

Concerned was the man from Tyreen

at the amount of TV that he’d seen

which he cured – so he thought –

when he went out and bought

a TV with a much smaller screen.

    Poem/story

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks PH - you are free to use it if you want - come to that if you want any cartoons/drawings just let me know and I'll draw them up - always looking for something different to do.

      • P.H.Rose

        Thank you Michael
        As soon as I have time
        I'm going to write it
        And will be getting in touch

      • Fay Slimm.

        Where do you get these limericks from Michael - so full of fun.

        • Michael Edwards

          I always carry a sketchbook and a note book and whenever an idea comes to me I make a note of it - always on the lookout for ideas for cartoons etc.

          It's a problem for Men
          Veggie Growers and Hatters
          They find in the end
          That size ~ really Matters
          Things look less obscene
          On a smaller screen !
          Thanks for caring ~ love the cartoon ! BRIAN
          Please check my BEE POEM ~ Thanks BEE.

        • Michael Edwards

          They do indeed - cheers Brian.

          Sniffer mouse-- giggle.
          Small screen-- bucking the trend for larger and larger ( with less useful content)

          • Michael Edwards

            The sniffer mouse is so good at detecting cheese. We haven't gone for a really screen at home as it tends to dominate the room plus we often don't watch it in the evenings - there is so little quality stuff on it these days - or was it ever thus?

            • Augustus

              Grew up with 3 channels. One hour of news. Ads were only 10-12 minutes of the hour. Tv went off at midnight at which time the national anthem was played. Lots of interesting shows and actors. No transforming monsters. A musical performance by a singer would have the singer or small group on stage with very simple backdrop, not dazzling lights, explosive fire burning, back up singers gyrating half naked sequined bodies.

            • Louis Gibbs

              Love your humor, Michael, and how it inspires more in the replies.

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Louis - Yes I love the fun too - just posted a humorous poem on an art site and its the same there.
