As wed reached the max on LIMERICKS 6 I'm starting this new one with its last entry

We're moving stuff for carpet laying
Must get it done, no more delaying
Husband's complaining
The effort’s so draining
Hope worth it for all that we're paying

Now that Limerick rhythm was great!

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely whilst being patted by humans,

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely whilst being patted by humans,
Who only complain when you spew in their shoe man blush

No offence meant but please could we keep to limerick shapegrin

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely,
Paws crossed precisely

A Calico cat on a white picket fence
Decided that life didn`t make any sense,
Having to sit nicely,
Paws crossed precisely
On his master's gleaming new Benz

I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!

I'll dress in my best, try not to look tarty!
Nose held high
Then bye and bye

Then bye and bye
If it rains I could get a bit clarty.

And her corgis versus my cat

She may give me a ride in her coach




It occurs to me that many people here don't quite know how to write a limerick and keep to the very specific rhythms required.

As Jangran99 says, cute though many of these poems are, they are not limericks and that's the whole point of the thread. Unless we simply call it 'humorous poems'?
It's up to whoever started it to judge.

Meanwhile, to help, here's a How To page.

She may give me a ride in her coach
There are some things I would like to broach

(I hope we keep to the limericks - it is a great format)

There are some things I'd like to broach
Whilst drawn by horses

Great link Bradfordlasswink This thread has been running for a long time and definately will stay.Anyone can start a humorous poems thread if that's the format they prefer.

Whilst drawn by horses
Does she study courses?

Whilst drawn by horses
Does she study courses?
As to eggs, does she boil or poach?

On how to mend her favourite brooch?
