Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Bite Me

Bite Me!!

He held out his hand gingerly
With lettuce—on guard inwardly—
Iguana did snap!
We heard, “Holy crap!
He bit me!” he yelled bitterly!

You cannot assume when you try
To do something good it will fly!
Some “creatures” will nab,
While others must stab—
Make “bite me” your snappy reply!

*Inspired by an event during a recent trip when an Iguana really did bite my husband’s finger as he fed him and left two bleeding puncture wounds!

John Lawless June 11, 2015 at 3:40 PM so much for the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" mentality. Love the tongue in cheek "metaphor" of feeding the Iguana in second limerick. Thanks for participating.
