Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

I wanted to lighten the mood on soup with a bit of much needed humour! 02/26/25

 

BAWDY LIMERICK

I’m laughing at Ex boss, Tess Tickle
Once so anti marriage – how fickle
Dick Pickle she’d marry
Though she calls him Larry
Now married she’s Tess Tickle-Pickle

On baby making Tess ain’t shirkin’
They’re bonking and grinding and jerkin’
And soon, sure enough
Tess got up the duff
The baby boy they’ve christened Gherkin!

Hilda Greenhough February 26, 2025 at 3:48 PM Pickle of a rhyme that is rib tickling. Thanks for your limerick genius.

Andrea Dietrich February 26, 2025 at 3:25 PM Humorous one, Jan. Even if I don't quite get some things related to British thinking. Very cute.

Michael Tor February 26, 2025 at 10:59 AM Jan this is hilarious. Thank you for the laugh. I am favoring this one. Thank you so much for sharing missed your poetry...

Daniel Henry Rodgers February 26, 2025 at 4:46 AM Dear Jan, your limerick is absolutely brilliant, so playful, cheeky, and full of clever wordplay! Tess Tickle-Pickle and little Gherkin? That’s comedic gold! Your rhythm is flawless, and the humor is delightfully wicked. I had such a good laugh. This is limerick mastery at its finest! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Lin Lane February 25, 2025 at 8:12 PM I suppose Tess could've chosen a worse name than Gherkin. Like the reverse of her hubby's name. Jan Allison February 26, 2025 at 3:12 AM thanks Lin, I thought soup needed a little humour injecting and its not poop for once lol lol ! hugs jan xx
