Cheryl Dunn

Cheryl forgot to close the chest When she disturbed a hornets’ nest Remorse there is none What’s Dunn is now done Phantoms and ghouls she’ll put to rest.

Thank you Maurice. I'm glad you enjoyed it. [By the way...I spoke to your naked oak....she said she enjoys wearing her b'day suit...]

Nice one , Paul. One time in a poetry club, I took the name of around ten members and made limericks with all their names. That was fun to do!!

Txs Andrea! Your comment might temp one of our sponsors to launch a contest asking for limericks about soup members:) That too would be fun!

Cheryl is a poet who I admire so much, and I wish I were as talented as she is. I love her wonderful way of telling a story... This was a great tribute poem for her. Very nicely Dunn, Paul! :)

Dearest Paul I love this poem, it's me all the way. Sorry I have not been on much lately, but I have been finishing with the house repairs for winter. God is it cold here my furnish went out and I am chilled to the bone. Yes I'm glad Halloween is over and I've put away the dark crimson pen for another year my friend. I like the lighter side of life anyway, Halloween is one of my favorite Hoilday's but Christmas is also. But I will be honest I hate the cold of winter.

Hi Cherl I am so glad you found this limerick to your liking! I was hoping as much. I do not like the cold, either, but in Malta the cold months are few, so it is not that hard to put up with them. I too have been doing repair works on the house and so far the weather has been kind to me. Looking forward to Christmas:) // paul

Gosh, did this really happen, Paul? Perhaps Cheryl did this metaphorically. Sure hope so. Very witty limerick, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn! Cherl wrote a long series of dark poems leading up to Halloween; now that period appears to be done with and she is writing on a different tone, equally good and entertaining. Hugs // paul

She sure has, Liam! But for the time being her 'dark' coloured pen has been put to rest. She has taken up a brightly coloured one for now (see her autumn flame poem....beautiful!) // paul

I do not write too many limericks; variety is important to stop us from falling into a rut, but I have to admit that I could write lots of the when I'm in the mood! Thank you for the 'superb' comments. Have a nice weekend. // paul
