LIMERICK No 44

Michael Edwards

 

 

I suffered a fever and they thought it might spread

so I cancelled my holiday and stayed home in bed.

Well I did save some money

but it sure wasn’t funny

cos I can’t use it now cos I’m bloomin’ well dead.

    A fine write an pic M. A similar thing happened to me. Someone said: Try holding your breath for 24 hours, to save some air for a whole day. I tried it - now I'm dead. Erm, strange that, can't understand it! lol

    • Michael Edwards

      I do that with words Orchi - quite useful if they are available for later usage. A bit like floccinaucinihilipilification but trying to estimate when I can use it is a bit hopeless.

      • orchidee

        Why they shorten it to 'Flocci-nocci', or 'Flokky-Nokky'? It seems like it should be 'Flokky- Norsee'. Today's useless musings from me!

        Presumably your ghost wrote this fun write Michael.

        • Michael Edwards

          Yes but he couldn't hold the pen so he dictated it.

          • dusk arising

            So they'd told M.E. it was nothing
            But they carried him off in his coffin
            So beware who u tell
            when your feeling unwell
            Cos you might be the last one laughin

            ha ha ha love a bit of fun.

                My JEWISH friend OBADIAH
                Borrowed 500 quid
                From his friend JEREMIAH
                When poor JERRY died
                Everyone cried For the Debt
                People were scoffin'
                But OBAD had the neck
                Wrote a 500 pound cheque
                And then threw it down
                On the COFFIN !

                Hope you like my LIM ~ thanks for yours BRIAN
