Second Place ~ Picture Prompt Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

My Free-range Limericks are loads of laughs, full of fun, and antibiotic and gluten-free. Isn't that strange?

Image supplied by the contest sponsor.

A donkey and his rider were attacked
By tigers leaving no time to react
Donkey said to tiger “Chill …”
Tiger growled saying “I will,”
“You’ll bring us riders daily per our pact!”

I don't know whether to laugh or be appalled... quite the predicament. Lol I love a limerick with a twist. Awesome Mark.
