Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Are You Sitting Comfortably

ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY

Poor Beryl had terrible piles
So painful, they stuck out for miles
With help from her finger
Her piles did not linger
Now comfy, she sits there and smiles!

Tony Hargreaves September 22, 2017 at 9:34 AM Ah! The good old Limerick. Liked this one Jan. The title reminded me of BBC children's programme that always started with these words, followed by: then I'll begin. Take care. Tony x Jan Allison September 22, 2017 at 9:51 AM We are showing our age Tony lol it was called 'Listen with Mother' and that is where I got the idea for the title :-):-) !!!
