I purchased a bantam in Feckham And named her Victoria Peckham This scrawny old bird Just can’t cluck a word She's hoping the farmer won't neck em! Our rooster is called ‘Coq au vin’ He tries to fly just like Batman If Victoria sings He starts flapping his wings At least the old bird’s got one fan!! I've just returned from a moonlight walk with my hubby ... we were just going past a farm and I had to stop to write the first limerick down and wrote the second when i got home ... I do worry about my muse! 4/4/18

For some reason this had me laughing, maybe it's the pic so scrawny of a chicken I hardly bet you can get a bite

Hi Jan, I read Tom's limerick first and I see why he was inspired. These are some funny and well written limericks. Well done:-) Alexis

Thanks so much Alexis:-) and i am delighted I am known as 'limerick queen' I think Roy jerden is the best limerick writer on soup, i just wish he still posted his poems - i know i learned so much about good meter from reading his poems:-) hugs jan xx

I love these! Your muse is amusing! My sister’s uncle-in-law birthday today, he recently passed away and loved roosters so I’ve been seeing some of them posing with. So your limerick made me think of them too! Enjoyed, dahling!

Darling. Do they just bounce happily out of your head, because it seems to me that you do a limerick seamlessly, Jan. SEAMLESSLY well-done.

A funny but 'fowl' limerick Jan,I've learned from the wise though, carry a little notebook when I'm out, as you say she can drop in anytime. Tom.

I have a little notebook with a pen attached to it - its invaluable, then i have to try and decipher what I've scrawled as its done in a rush whilst the muse is active:-) hugs jan xx

You little hen. It's not your muse that worries me, Jan. It's where your thoughts lead you when you're taking a moonlight walk with your husband. Cluck about that one. ;-)
