Notes About The Poem

4th in Summer Limerick Contest (Sponsor: Tania Kitchen)

Judged: July 13th, 2025

 

 

Cricket in the Summer

Pinkie's ova dried up in summer.
Her sackcloths made beach days a bummer,
till she caught a sperm whale—
an Aussie bowler, "Gale"—
who had spun her like a newcomer.

Thanks, Sam! I'm glad you were able to get the cricket references. I'm not sure how that would work for everyone ... but I certainly had fun writing it.
