A Christmas Mishap

A plump woman lived in New York 
At Christmas dinner, ate much beef and pork,
Adding kilos to her fat
On a chair as she sat,
It broke down with a sudden creak


Secured the eighth position 
I Need a Good Laugh: 
Christmas Limerick Poetry Contest

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/24/2021 4:43:00 PM This was cute, Valsa. the last word did not rhyme with the last words of the first two lines. Other than that, this was a pretty well written limerick and I appreciate your entering my contest with it. Congrats for the win and Merry Christmas.

Rico Leffanta Date: 12/16/2021 10:19:00 AM I saw that happen when I was courting a German girl; at breakfast, her mother said I should eat more so I could be like her husband, who dutifully leaned back in his chair to pat his huge stomach, and the chair collapsed. Still funny! Aloha! Login to Reply Valsa George Date: 12/16/2021 5:50:00 PM Ha.... ha! That's indeed quite interesting ! Did you marry that German girl? Hope she didn't break the cot !.... Lol
