Beware

Last night in a forest, poor Dan

got bit by some creature. He ran

to the safety of home,

but as I write this poem,

he's changing! Beware the wolfman!

I wrote about a man turning into a wolf as and when he wanted. Another fantasy tale of mine. Mr. Williams, fact or fiction! Love this limerick Andrea, very cool. Blessings, Jennifer.

First, sigh of relief that there isn't a limerick contest I NEED to write for then second and foremost this is well done, entertaining and creative for Richard's contest (I read about it earlier). A delightful limerick, playful, as well. Love, CayCay

Love it, even a man who is pure of heart and says his prayers at night may turn into a wolf when the wolf bane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. From a Ken Kesey novel, I've never forgotten it. Good luck Tom.

lol...yikes! reminds me of my walk to the car this morning... as I was walking in the dark I heard some strange noise and couldn't close the door fast enough... the country can be eerie at times...I will have to keep my eyes out for werewolves though... best wishes in the contest Andrea :) hugs
