LIMERICK No54

Michael Edwards

 

 

A lazy young girl from Berlin

wore knickers that weren’t very thin

and within a few weeks

they stuck to her cheeks

so she put them on outside in.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I've just been reading poem after poem about personal angst. It seems few contributors write for the pure joy of words and love of poetry but as a therapeutic outlet. Nothing wrong with that but it does get a bit depressing at times. So here's something to break ranks and hopefully raise a smile. Plus another of my monotypes prints.

      Ooh swoon heehee! Not a poem about Miss Sue E. Side. I wouldn't like to meet her!

      • Michael Edwards

        Nor her friend who's always up to no good: Miss D. Meanor

        I agree that the majority of writing here seems to be an outlet for personal angst - - - but loved the grin your limerick raised as my first read of the morning Michael. - - A smile is a great tonic.

          thanks Fay - it's a trap your work never falls into - personal angst that is. .

                enjoyed it.
                I do wish people would
                write poetry for poetry sake.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Sadly not many do - thanks for looking in.
