Notes About The Poem

Image result for image of blarney stone

Dear Bobby Mcgee

In a horrible dull monotone

Bobby spoke, and his girlfriend would moan,

“No kisses from me,

dear Bobby McGee

till you first kiss the old Blarney Stone.”


Written March 15, 2017 for
Kim Merryman's Luck of the Irish Limerick Contest

Feel sorry for Bobby - not all of us are gifted with "eloquence and persuasiveness". Great Limerick and congrats on your win Andrea! :-)

The question remains, Andrea, did he kiss the stone? It's over if he wouldn't ... Nicely done, I really enjoy it. Thanks, Dave

The title had me thinking it would be about the song Me and Bobby McGee. Love your limericks.

This is too cute! It reminds of the classic song, Me and Bobby McGee. I'm terrible at writing limericks so I'm going to skip this contest. Your entry is a sure winner, Andrea...:)

I hope Bobby was flexible enough! Poor chap, he must have been rather frustrated! Superb entry, Andrea. // paul

Imagine how talented we would be if we kissed the stone! I think I've kissed in weirder positions. This limerick is cute, Andrea - very creative. Good luck with your wee gem in the contest. Hugs ... CayCay
