Andrea Dietrich Poet Limerick

A Fly on the Wall

If a fly on the wall I could be,
some celebrities I'd want to see -
like the ones that got missed
from Sean Diddy's guest list.
I'd get buzzed on a fact-finding spree.

Bored with wicked rich stars, I'd fly to
where the schemes of elitists I'd view.
Just beware. Flies like me
are as sly as can be,
and right now I am looking at you!

CayCay Godwin December 19, 2025 at 10:08 AM Very clever and well deserving of a win. We were right about mine, you may recall I failed to follow directions and wrote about past rather than current history. (can history be current? is that an oxy?) Anyway, congrats! I have much to catch up on and I'm sure you've penned more wonderful word combinations. LOVE

Line Gauthier December 18, 2025 at 5:26 AM Lovely poem, Andrea ~

Terry Miller December 17, 2025 at 7:20 AM Good one Andrea, congratulations, been in Paris for ten days hence lack of comments, and poems, have to catch-up

Krishnanand Guptar December 14, 2025 at 7:35 AM Congratulations on your well deserved win in this contest with a punchy poem. What a bold fly you aspire to be. Wicked celebrities need to beware. Wish you a pleasant end of week.

Sara Kendrick December 13, 2025 at 7:10 AM Back with congratulations on your winning work. Way to go. Sara K

Karen Jones December 13, 2025 at 5:07 AM Congratulations on your wonderful writing win!

Suzette Richards December 13, 2025 at 2:47 AM Congratulations, Andrea, on your 2nd place win. Light, cheeky, and conspiratorial—the closing twist (‘and right now I am looking at you!’) captures the sly voyeurism implied by the idiom.

CayCay Godwin November 30, 2025 at 5:09 PM Both limericks are clever, cute and entertaining, Andrea. I messed up, wrote about past events, didn't want to rewrite so I just changed first 2 lines and entered. I haven't high hopes. This though should go all the way, but I think I saw that you posted another w/ same title. I'm off to check that out Andrea Dietrich November 30, 2025 at 6:04 PM I like yours better than mine. But hmm I forgot the thing about not writing of past events. . dang. I hope it doesn't ruin things to or you

Sara Kendrick November 30, 2025 at 4:31 PM Good one. I enjoyed reading this one that is apparently for a contest. It reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Paige Hind November 30, 2025 at 12:39 AM It looks like you posted this twice (almost) but with two stanzas instead of three. I like it either way. Great lol :) <3 Andrea Dietrich November 30, 2025 at 1:07 PM Yes. Due to the contest line limit

Joseph May November 29, 2025 at 6:26 AM A spy fly getting the scoop, Nicely done Andrea

Jeanette Swan November 29, 2025 at 3:14 AM Nice switch from voyeur angle to focal point :)

Joseph P. DiMino November 28, 2025 at 10:00 AM The less I know about stars, the better off I am. So many I do not watch anymore, some great actors and actresses, singers, etc., because of what should have remained their private lives and opinions. Just the way I am. No apology.
