Notes About The Poem

Don'T Let Your Pitter Patter

I once met a Spanish high flyer
She wiggled and danced on a wire
Her pitter once pattered
Grew ninety pounds fatter
And now she sings bass in a choir.

I love a good Limerick... and that’s a good and hilarious Limerick. Thanks for introducing yourself through my poems, I see rhyme is as important to you as it is to me. Terry

Yes. It is my belief that the rhyming and rhythm of a poem are what people mostly remember. If it's easy to read. It gives it more of a sense of familiarity. Thank you from dropping by Terry.

Great limerick, Daniel.. we get older metabolism drops and the weight gain. Sorry for your loss of your brother a pain that doesn't heal. I lost my babysister at 21 , 40 years ago and I still replay the day she passed. Aneurysm in brain, laughing one minute drinking a glass of wine next half hour gone. Thank your for congratulations on POTD. Hugs Eve
