Notes About The Poem

Palindrome Limerick Contest by Joseph May  May 13, 2024

Dirty Deed of a Scallywag

At noon, I heard what sounded like a pop
It continued all eve, and wouldn't stop
Now, it sounds like a peep
Aha! More like a beep
I am not a kook!  In my eye there's a drop.

Mom thought it was someone playing a gag
I turned redder than a Japanese flag
"On the level," I cry!
I refer and imply
Who did the dirty deed... the scallywag?
