Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Crashing For Cash

Crashing for Cash

Attorneys will flock to your side
Before your blood even has dried
     Can crashing for cash
     Do much for YOUR stash?
Each lawyer their cut tries to hide

Five lawyers came calling on me
Good grief!  I had just skinned my knee
     Have I grounds to sue?
     I don’t think I do
Just do it to pay lawyer’s fee

Sara Kendrick January 16, 2019 at 4:01 PM Don't know if this one has been judged or not but if not reads like a good contender. Thanks for the honor of placing in your contest. Sara

Rico Leffanta January 14, 2019 at 2:25 PM WELL done! I was not aware of the alphabetic order until I read your note, so you aced this one! Aloha! Rico

Alexis Y. January 13, 2019 at 7:25 PM Hi Carolyn, You penned some good ABC limericks for the contest. You made it look easy . But I know first hand that it wasn't easy at all. Although you made it humorous, lawyers all about the money. You expressed that point realy well in this piece. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Paul Callus January 11, 2019 at 3:46 PM Well done on the excellent topic and the witty smooth way you handled it, Carolyn. Also of note is how easily you managed the alphabetical part of it! A winner all the way! Hugs // paul Carolyn Devonshire January 11, 2019 at 4:32 PM Thanks, Paul. The alphabet aspect wasn't too bad once I started writing.

Jennifer Proxenos January 11, 2019 at 10:06 AM Hi Carolyn, The first to arrive at an accident scene here in Johannesburg are the accident tow vehicles and oh my word, how they argue as to who will tow the prize away! I call them vultures! Entertaining limericks. Poetry wishes, Jennifer.

Lunita Blanca January 10, 2019 at 8:13 PM Excellent limericks my friend.

Lindsay Laurie January 10, 2019 at 5:10 PM A great brace of limericks Carolyn written by instruction. There's nothing forced in them and the topic is great - thank you Carolyn - Lindsay

Vladislav Raven January 10, 2019 at 3:37 PM Hi Carolyn, well done for managing this very difficult limerick. I know how hard it is to write a standard limerick. I have tried many times and I just can't do it. The harder I try, the worse things get. I hope you do well with this limerick. It reads well. You took on the challenge and this one reads like a winner. Have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Connie Marcum Wong January 10, 2019 at 2:05 PM No way could I attempt doing this limerick in alphabetical order. I can't even write a regular one. This is so impressive Carolyn! I am sure it will be a winner! Brava! : ) xxoo Carolyn Devonshire January 10, 2019 at 4:02 PM Thanks for reading, Connie!

P.S. Awtry January 9, 2019 at 10:29 PM you made that look easy! Carolyn Devonshire January 10, 2019 at 12:17 PM Tomeet the alphabetical requirements, there is some loss in humor. Otherwise, the challenge isn't too difficult once you get started, PS.

Arthur Vaso January 9, 2019 at 10:06 PM LOL this is so good! If you don't win, get a lawyer!!!! LOL Carolyn Devonshire January 10, 2019 at 12:21 PM You crack me up, Arthur! Thanks for reading.

Gershon Wolf January 9, 2019 at 8:08 PM Oh! So well done, and within those strict contest guidelines. A winner, for sure. And who knows? You may have given birth to another lawyer joke or two, so to speak. Best wishes, Gershon Gershon Wolf January 13, 2019 at 7:54 PM Heh, heh. That's a good joke right there, Carolyn! :) gw Carolyn Devonshire January 10, 2019 at 12:37 PM Not hard to do as I've met a couple lawyers who are jokes themselves. Thanks for reading, Gershon.

Janice Canerdy January 9, 2019 at 3:38 PM VERY good, Carolyn, on this limerick with the added requirement! Janice

Andrea Dietrich January 9, 2019 at 3:36 PM amazingly done, Carolyn. GREAT meter and LOL!!!!

Kim Rodrigues January 9, 2019 at 2:42 PM So true and so sad! When your younger you believe in the system. Wisdom comes with age!
