Andrea Dietrich Poet Limerick

A Limerician's Shrift

It's the cell of a jail I am in

for the limerick fool I have been.

In the back of a hearse

I’ll be rhyming my verse

as they lay me to rest for my sin!


For the Limerick Poetry Contest of Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer

Daver Austin July 17, 2015 at 2:29 PM You are not half as naughty as daver. I'd like to read the limerick that sent you to jail. Was it publishable on the soup? Love, daver

Emile Pinet July 17, 2015 at 9:52 AM This is sad in content but strung together with a poets critical eye and flows with a jaunty beat. Emile.
