Curtis Moorman Poet Limerick

Animal Limerick

ANIMAL LIMERICK

There was a young man named Chuck
Who had a little white duck
The duck disappeared
And everyone feared
That somebody stole Chuck's duck

One day the little white duck 
Suddenly showed up at Chuck's
With a  lady duck
Who had baby ducks
Chuck has a house full of ducks

The duck that belonged to Chuck
Had a great streak of good luck
He now has a mate 
His life is real great
I know of no prouder duck

I had a terrific young lady give me some valuable pointers on the flow of limericks. She not only sent me one Soup mail, she kept on until I got it right. I owe her a huge vote of thanks and a truck load of hugs.

Andrea Dietrich September 13, 2018 at 3:24 PM cute one. Congrats on your win. Curtis Moorman September 14, 2018 at 10:33 AM Thanks, Andrea! Limericks are my favorite form because they take very little muse to write. Always good to hear from you. Book number two is nearing completion for editing and printing. Once it is off the press, I'll send you a signed copy.

Tom Cunningham September 2, 2018 at 1:11 PM Curtis I could swear that I've already commented on this one ? Tom Tom Cunningham September 2, 2018 at 5:48 PM was beginning to think I'd dreamt it lol Curtis Moorman September 2, 2018 at 4:55 PM You did, Tom, but a little bird (not a white duck) told me the limerick form was not being followed and she gave me some good advice on how to fix it. So, I trashed the original and started over --- 3 times --- before I got it right. Now, let's see what Charlie (Chuck) Messina has to say about it.
