James Fraser Poet Limerick

Balloon Boy

There was once an inflatable school
With a blown up boy as a fool
     Then one day he came in
     With a packet of pins
This ass was more like a mule

Around the playground he simply deflated
His bad antics left him elated
     The headmaster had seen
     This blown up boy being so mean
His anger was so underrated

To the headmasters room he was called
Knowing well he's in for a fall
     You have let everybody down
     Balloon boy your a clown
Disgusted, I'm darned well appalled



* This is based on the joke at the end of a programme called the *
                                  ~ Vicar of Dibley ~

Carolyn Devonshire December 18, 2010 at 4:06 PM Wish I could see that TV show, James. I don't think it's shown in the states, but I enjoyed the humor in your limerick. Like the thought of the boy pricking the inflatable school with a pin. That must be one funny program! Love, Carolyn

Deb Radke December 18, 2010 at 1:05 PM Oh well done James. I don't know this program, but perhaps will have to find out more about it. Is it a series, or a one-time program? In any case, very good limerick, especially the first one... soup mail
