Notes About The Poem

Written 4th August 2025 

 

Too much is Enough

 Too much is enough when one is full up
Had plenty to eat and plenty to sup
When feeling bloated 
Tummy’s explosive 
Cough loud and say sorry for the hiccup.

If by chance you should have become legless
Aim for the best, to not feeling reckless
It's not ladylike 
A sure fated vice
You may find that you have become feckless.

John Read Date: 8/20/2025 11:31:00 AM Too much is enough when you're had your fill, and too much booze sure fits the bill, a couple of shandys, and one or two brandys, can leave one feeling quite ill.

Terry Flood Date: 8/4/2025 3:51:00 PM Always loved a good Limerick, Beryl… and here we have two for the price of one. But I must say this… as a lady, be thankful it was only a hiccup you apologised for. Best of luck in the contest.
