Mike Dailey Poet Limerick

Cougar and Cub

There once was this gal – much older
And I being young but bolder
Took hold of her hand
Said I am your man
But she gave me the old cold shoulder

Now I – being not a quitter
Thought how am I going to get her
I must make her mine
The very next time
My parents get a baby sitter

Andrea Dietrich June 20, 2011 at 11:46 PM ahhh, so cute, mike. I am enjoying your poetry here at Soup! (one of the best limericks i have seen for this contest!)

Don Johnson June 19, 2011 at 9:51 PM Adoration of baby sitter, so much love, her eyes don't glitter, with eternal love, she's in charge, don't be bitter, I have worshipped her the sitter, Unrequited love... good one mate, Don

Carolyn Devonshire June 19, 2011 at 11:50 AM Aw, this is so cute, Mike. WhenI was a teen babysitting, I really enjoyed the little boys' company. This is very clever and sure to please Dr. Ram. Jack and I are judging our contest blindly, so we don't know who wrote which poem. I can say that we have received some great entries and only a few with misspellings. Wishing you success in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn

James Foulk June 19, 2011 at 10:06 AM very creative and well written piece, good luck in the contest. thank you for commenting on Father's Day Wish. My dad was 66 when he died, i was 27 when he died. I am 67 going on 68 now. i grew up without him, and started to get to know him around 18, but did not see him the last 6 months of his life, thank you again for taking time to read my poem. Mike Dailey June 19, 2011 at 10:56 AM My dad was about 34 when he died - I was barely three. I never knew the man. This October marks the 60th anniversary since his passing.
