Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Dave Smells the Roses

   As the year closes, Dave smells the roses
   To his girlfriend Dina he proposes
      Though he thought 'Nothing's wrong'
      Dave had waited too long
   On Dave's roses Dina soon forecloses

Bill Baker January 1, 2024 at 5:46 PM Ouch! Rough way to end the year, my friend. Good Limerick though. LOL Have a great week, gw. Bill

Terry Flood January 1, 2024 at 4:48 PM Phew… a ‘skin of the teeth’ reprieve. Now all he has to do is marry a supermodel and Dina will be pig sick. ;-) Gershon Wolf January 1, 2024 at 7:30 PM Yeah. Like he could marry Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. They're super models of unadulterated narcissism, for example.

Paula Goldsmith January 1, 2024 at 1:26 PM A fun Limerick write. His time/roses both ran out. Better luck next time. Don't wait so long.... Have a blessed day writing away in 24................

Hilda Greenhough January 1, 2024 at 9:39 AM Another interesting poem. Thank you for this limerick. Limericks are very enjoyable. And 'top o' the morning on this New Year's Day.

Jerry Brotherton January 1, 2024 at 4:45 AM A great Limerick, my friend. Guess that old saying, 'Good things come to those that wait' doesn't work. Gershon Wolf January 1, 2024 at 7:29 PM Guess not... Perhaps that's why it's an 'old saying.' Time to refresh it...

Shirley Hawkins January 1, 2024 at 3:45 AM Dave has kept Dina waiting too long. Dina saw their time was gone, She had a strong instinct. That she and Dave would become extinct.
