Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Al At the Locale

There was a red bauble named Al
He feasted on mead and Halal
He got hooked on a tree
Got nice comments for free		
Which boosted his pride and morale.

Somebody the door opened wide
The wind gushed inside like the tide
Gosh! Poor Al hit the ground
And saw stars all around
He lost his decorum and pride.

Sara Kendrick January 4, 2017 at 5:43 PM Cute one..I have not heard the word decorum used very much..My father told the story about the teacher sending home a note about one of his brothers' decorum was terrible..Daddy said his dad did not even know what the word meant so he did not know what to do about it without going to the school to talk to the teacher..They was too poor to own a dictionary..Thanks for dropping by..Sara Paul Callus January 5, 2017 at 12:10 PM Thank you for the visit and short narrative, Sara :) Warm regards // paul

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2017 at 7:47 AM The contests filling up fast sometimes makes it difficult to give good intervals between our poems, or if one has to travel. Ugggg. Let me see a few of your poems I may have missed lately!! Paul Callus January 4, 2017 at 4:25 PM Thanks for coming back, Andrea. I have become quite choosy about contests; my time is taken up by many other things, so I have to balance and share out my time accordingly. // paul

Andrea Dietrich January 3, 2017 at 11:24 AM very nicely done for the contest, Paul. I posted all my poems like this one so closely together, I think they did not get read except for the last few I posted before my trip. I love this silly cartoon contest, don't you? Paul Callus January 3, 2017 at 1:47 PM Pleased you enjoyed, Andrea. Now-a-days I only post poems at reasonable intervals. Regards // paul

Charlie Smith December 31, 2016 at 7:36 AM Hope Al had a sip of the Nog before the accident occurred, might have eased his discomfort...
