Out On A Limb

A tall tree I did climb,
on a bet of a dime.
Baby Bear said it was funny,
it was not for the big money.
The limb broke what a crime.

That’s a charming little poem, Paula! It captures a playful moment with a nice twist at the end. The rhyme and rhythm make it fun and lighthearted—like a quick story told in verse. Thanks for sharing!

Great to see you reading my fun "Out On A Limb" write. I was a "Baby Bear" having fun in this Limerick tale. "Thank You" for reading. Glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to bring to life.

I loved your limerick, yet this is not the contest as I think it should deal with some animal.

Ouch!! Your limb, or the tree's limb or both? As an aside my friends and I when we were kids always used to climb trees usually for conkers (the hard, shiny dark brown nut of a horse chestnut tree). Do kids climb trees nowadays? I don't know. I digress. I enjoyed your limerick Paula. Cheers - Gary
