Bob The Mime Who Was Ever Silent

I knew a mime who was ever silent One of the many who were licensed Hit his toe doing his act Felt so much pain that he quacked The city took away his mime license Yes! knew this mime who was ever silent He boarded a plane that had no toilet Sat on seat, squirmed very pressed Passed out gas was quite distressed! Airline took away his season ticket Then Bob wanted to be an astronaut Wanted so bad that NASA he sought He was a part time mime Mimed the astronaut climb To the panel his effort was for naught

Sucks to be Bob? Some are destined to be sad sacks I guess

Hello Marugu your poem embodies a tragicomic tale of a mime's misfortunes. I love that through your humor and wit, it illuminates the irony of a silent performer facing setbacks that hinge on communication. Marugu you show how the absurdities and the unexpected ways in which our dreams can be dashed. - Blessings, Daniel

witty, clever and funny Limerick...definitely smiling as I read your poem. I liked 'the City took away his mime license' as well as 'passed out gas...quite distressed.' I appreciate your creativity. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Thanks. I was just being silly writing these ones and trying to re-acquaint myself with anapestic meter. Blessings
