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!

          Can't beat a Sunday ramble.

        • Goldfinch60

          Presumably your ghost wrote this fun write Michael.

          • Michael Edwards

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

          • Mugsdaddy

            Very clever. I very much enjoyed it

          • WL Schuett

            • Michael Edwards

              Thanks Bill - yes it calls for a cockney accent.

            • 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.

              • Michael Edwards

                  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

                    • Michael Edwards
