Cryptic Butcher

I always reckoned my butcher was batty,
With cryptic comments when he got chatty,
I was shaking my head,
when, with his wife he said,
I would like all of you to... meet Patty.

Time to make supper so my last read today love phyl Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 8/31/2015 3:14:00 AM Hello Phyllis... I had never thought about writing limericks until I saw how many poets post them here, so I thought I'd have a go and I do enjoy the challenge. I trust you enjoyed supper - Lindsay

Suburban Lovechild Date: 7/5/2015 12:34:00 PM Great, thanks for making me think twice about having the leftover hamburgers in my fridge. Fun write, great job, keep it up. Kindest, Subby Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 7/6/2015 1:58:00 AM G'day Subby... thanks for your comment. I don't think upsetting your butcher is a good career move either. Instead of meeting Patty you could be eating Patty - regards - Lindsay

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/4/2015 11:43:00 PM Lindsay, I watch too many movies about serial killers. hahaha!!! Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 6/6/2015 7:47:00 PM G'day... now here's an idea for you Andrea seeing you mentioned serial killer but its sort of cryptic. Destroying somebody's wheat crop would make you a cereal killer also wouldn't it - sorry for the stupidity - Catch you soon Andrea - Lindsay

Paul Callus Date: 5/30/2015 10:04:00 AM A play on words might get the butcher into trouble! Very witty. // paul Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/30/2015 8:35:00 PM Hello Paul... thank you Paul for commenting. Yes, sometimes wit can turn on you - Lindsay

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/22/2015 9:48:00 PM haha, It came to me that he had a girl made into a hamburger patty. Did i get that right? Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/24/2015 10:02:00 PM ha-ha... not quite Andrea... the butcher's just being a smart Alec in front of his mates when introducing his wife Patty... trying to be funny in other words. Thanks again Andrea - Lindsay
