Jim Slaughter Poet Limerick

A Limerick for Saint Patrick's Day, 2024

A young newlywed colleen from Clones*
Surprised her husband with freshly baked scones.
Said the hubby, named Keith,
"Dear, I don't mean to beef,
But my teeth are more suited to biscuits than stones."

*A small town in Western County Monaghan, Ireland.


                              !!!Happy Saint Patrick's Day, P S!!!

David Fisher March 16, 2024 at 4:38 PM Funny one, and sounds like Colleen needs some baking lessons? Jim Slaughter March 17, 2024 at 10:12 AM You're right, David. She probably didn't use her mother's/grandmother's recipe.
