Gym Gym Gym

Gym goer hits the gym—me, A dumbell slipped wild and free, He fell on his mouth, A tooth out, a shrill shout, Oops! He realised—the gym hit me!
This limerick is fiction

entertaining and fun to read. The gym where I work out can be a definite danger zone. :-)

Dearest Anne, Your Limerick is comedy gold wrapped in gym tragedy! You flip expectations in that last line, a nice twist. It’s got slapstick energy, but there’s something really endearing about it too. “The gym hit me”? That’s going straight on a motivational poster in my imaginary workout room. Thanks for the laugh that even our fiercest reps come with plot twists. Sweating in solidarity, Summer Blessings, My Dearest Anne, Daniel

Dearest Daniel, Thanks for the lovely note! I'm glad the limerick brought a smile to your face. 'The gym hit me' as a motivational poster is genius. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the lim. Warmest regards, Anne

The fourth line of this interesting piece got me thinking with my mouth thrown wide open and ready to shout from entertainment. It's a heart-warming poem. A dancing limerick going down a spiralling staircase. Good work. Please write on.

No pain, no gain. Take it, the gym goer isn't enamelled with the gym any more.

Hi Tom, I wanted to try writing something different. It's my first time writing a limerick, haha! I don't really have a good sense of humor but still I tried to write something funny.
