Craving Pickles - What a Myth!

When they’re “preggers,” some females feel fickle
And their "fancy" just some foods can tickle.
I (instead) ate and ate.
Dang it. . . How much less weight
I’d have gained if I’d craved only pickles!



For P.D.'s Contest:
Pickles & Tickles "Limerick"

Carol Fillmore Date: 10/15/2010 8:42:00 AM Oh I love this one!!!! LOL Thanks for your comment on the 9/11 poem...as many of my poems do, they arrive 'unexpectedly' and at the oddest times:) Often at inconvenient times when busy doing something else that needs doing right then:) Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 10/15/2010 7:42:00 AM I had to look up "preggers." Last time I was P.G. I craved liver sausage, which is bad for my gout. A humorous utterance, dear. I definitely hav LOST IT! The title of that poem should have been "Frost Advisory." and it is a Haiku I guess. Love, Dave Login to Reply
