Notes About The Poem

8/2/25

It started off as one limerick but Like topsy ... the story just grew!

 

 

Butt out - humour warning!


Bill prodded his sebaceous cyst ‘Twas massive the size of his fist It spurted green pus His wife made a fuss “Get treatment NOW, I must insist” Blue lighted to the A & E Huge spurting cyst medics could see Bill’s livid butt boil Made doctor’s recoil Needs lancing now, they all agree They bundle Bill onto a table “Don’t sedate him” said his wife Mable I will succinctly put He’s a pain in the butt I’m leaving him when I am able The medics gave Bill’s boil a prick Green gunky pus splurts, it’s so thick Poor Mable was heaving She said, “Bill I’m leaving Because you’re an ignorant dick” “You wouldn’t seek treatment for years Your constant moans left me in tears I’ll file for divorce I’m leaving of course I’m going to live in Algiers”! Bills visage turned ever so pale His final breath he did exhale The cad passed away There’s no more to say I’ve finished the end of this tale!

Hello my Sister from another Mister, those bubbling boils are troubling toils. Hail to this laugh out loud limerick. No amusement rotted, even though I just spotted. Thanks for the relief.

Great limerick story telling, Jan. Our power here has been off for 4 hours. Getting worried about all Angie's food in the huge basement freezer

Only you could turn a sebaceous cyst into a riotous comedy of errors! The pacing, rhyme, and dark humor are spot-on—poor Bill, but I can’t stop laughing. A brilliantly gross and gripping tale!

Showing his butt once more, he passes away. Your words aren’t lovely, but you’ve made your point and most of us are laughing our butts off (saying at least here in America ;)
