Valsa George Poet Limerick

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

Andrea Dietrich December 24, 2021 at 4:43 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. Valsa George December 26, 2021 at 10:05 PM Thanks a lot Andrea for selecting my poem for a win and thanks for pointing out the shortcoming...

Rico Leffanta December 16, 2021 at 10:19 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! Valsa George December 16, 2021 at 5:50 PM Ha.... ha! That's indeed quite interesting ! Did you marry that German girl? Hope she didn't break the cot !.... Lol
