FICTION POEM - WE HAVE NEVER CELEBRATED VALENTINES DAY WITH GIFTS OR CARDS

 

Bouquet Blunder


My husband had purchased fresh flowers They sweltered in his car for eight hours Twelve roses of red Were nearly all dead His Valentine’s Day gaffe truly sours

Good one, Jan. I prefer chocolates but in this case, they would have melted!

So, that’s where I’ve been going wrong. I only gave Annie six dead roses. Fun Limerick, Jan. Best of luck in the contest. Terry

A very cute limerick. Valentine's Day is coming, I hope it turns out better than the wilted roses.

A great limerick dear Jan as always from the limerick queen. I always admire how you pen them so easily. A sure gift indeed. Natural. Thank you for making me smile tonight :) Hope you are all ok over there on your lovely island. It’s getting very cold again. Hugs to you xx

Aww thanks Christina, I can write a limerick in one minute so no wonder it's my favourite form. However my muse is mis behaving as far as soup is concerned since I published my 'A giggle a day' poetry book BUT I am writing lots of new material for my next book which will be on 'Toilet' humour'. I am being interviewed for the local radio tomorrow, hopefully once that is over and a newspaper article (which is pending) then i will get back to posting more regularly, thanks for your support:-):-) hugs jan xx
