John Watt Poet Limerick

A Shy Personage

My poetess friend, a shy personage
Sips tea while composing her versenage
Ah, but now she’s deciding
T’would be more exciting
To marry, for better or worsenage.

She wrote all the vows they would say
At church, when arrived the big day.
Hubby hadn’t rehearsed
So in his vows, he cursed!
Made bride and priest turn ashengray.

She learned hubby wasn’t poetical
Her haiku just made him upsettical,
She’d read her new sonnet,
But he didn’t wonnet
He’d go drive his V-8 Corvettical!

Reason A. Poteet March 12, 2020 at 11:12 AM Your humor and skill with some made-up words is most excellent. Enjoyed the rhyme in them, expecially. A winner already in my book, a 10. Thanks for sharing it. John Watt March 12, 2020 at 2:25 PM Reason, I'm always grateful when my offbeat brand of humor finds a welcoming place to land. Thanks for the comment, my friend.
