A Poetess's Trophy Saga

~~~~ A poetess, so in love with herself, Tried to reach her trophy on the top shelf. She fell, split her gold pants! Now can't go to the dance. To cheer up, bought a hot ticket to France! ~~~~ July 30, 2020 9:30 pm PST Edited. July 31, 2020 7:30 am PST Apologies from me, for errors, appreciate correction! (my first and last limerick...sorry)

Hi Pangie, had a good laugh with this one... pride goeth before a split in the pants! Hope you write more limericks, sometimes it's the best way to say something short and funny. Best wishes, friend ~ John

Hey John, pants splitting. ))) wish I could do more but others are sharp as tacks. Mine? Like a balloon with air coming out.*This was a slam poem about arrogant poetesses.)) As I said 2 someone, somewhere. I am quite excellent at doing stand up and improv. But comedy in a "form" is not me. Funny Poems yes. Limericks are like one liners. I couldn't write one to save my life. There is a huge difference between wriiten humor and performance humor. Am good at the latter only. RICO,, Jan, Tom are so excellent at it. Dear friend, thank you for writing this. Hope you understand me. Humor to me is close to jazz that us improv and bounced off a live audience. I shine under these circumstances. Silly Pangie xx

Hello Tom, Have decided to never pen another!-)) there are others here far ahead of me in this form. I feel totally at ease being funny in person. But stilted and artificial in writing them. Pangie xx
