David Fisher Poet Limerick

Dorothy And The Tin Man

When Dorothy and Tin Man were dating
She didn’t prepare for the mating
Til’ she heard a bang
And shouted out, “Dang,
Something inside there’s inflating”

Since Dorothy’s one chick he lusted
Poor Tin said he was disgusted
Coz there was no oil can
Nearby them at hand
To free up his zipper now rusted

As Tin was kissing Dorothy’s lips
He sadly knew he had to come to grips
‘Til she yelled, “My man
I’ll open your can
Coz in my purse I brought some tin snips!”

Panagiota Romios January 1, 2025 at 12:06 PM Dearest David, congratulations on a very creative right. I am sorry I missed the exact day, but I don’t read POTD every day like I used to. Anyway, this is the best poems. I have read at potter soup in five years and us definitely deserves a FAV.

Karen Jones November 24, 2024 at 3:18 PM Cute David and very original! Congratulations on potw! David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:43 AM Thanks Karen, for your kind words! It is a fun contest.

Jan Allison November 24, 2024 at 10:54 AM Many congrats on POTW, this is hilarious and gives a new perspective on the story - so glad the sanctimonious clap trap comment still there but another poets comments to it have now gone but that is par for the course I'm afraid , I am saddened someone would even write a comment like that, it would have been far better in a soup mail or not at all! :-) hugs jan xx David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:41 AM Thanks Jan, it means a lot to know what you think.

I Am Anaya November 24, 2024 at 9:22 AM Pornographic humor, some evangelists would not approve some will. All pieces of children lit make inevitable targets, some will cringe some will laugh. Should we strive to leave some Americana intact and uncorrupted, anything goes I suppose. I believe in freedom of expression, it's whatever is in one's nature how they feel about it. Congratulations for being chosen for POTW, David Fisher!! :):)

Tania Kitchin November 24, 2024 at 8:38 AM David, congratulations on POTW, your limerick set is hilarious and entertaining! David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:39 AM Thanks so much Tania! And for sticking up for what limericks are all about.

William Darnell Sr November 24, 2024 at 8:26 AM Congratulations, David, on the POTW win. This was Hilariously funny. (Since Dorothy’s one chick he lusted Poor Tin said he was disgusted Coz there was no oil can Nearby them at hand To free up his zipper now rusted.) "Great Word Porn." Warm Regards, William David Fisher November 24, 2024 at 11:17 AM Thanks William, much appreciated. William Darnell Sr November 24, 2024 at 8:37 AM I'm favin' this too!

Lin Lane November 24, 2024 at 6:57 AM David, Limericks are meant to be funny and bawdy, so despite any comment that finds fault with yours, it's a form you have written as it's meant to be read... humorously. Just because one person has such a negative opinion, the voices of others congratulate you. Comments are meant to give positive thoughts... ONLY, or none at all. David Fisher November 24, 2024 at 11:15 AM Thanks Lin for your kind words and opinions.

Anne-Lise Andresen November 24, 2024 at 6:42 AM - Congratulations on your p.o.t.w., David - Great done, best wishes in the contest too :) - hugs David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:38 AM Thanks Anne-Lise, I always appreciate your well wishes.

Kim Rodrigues November 24, 2024 at 5:53 AM We’ve gotten a peak into the hidden life of Dorothy and the heartless man she was drawn to. Funny. This will surely make the sponsor laugh out loud! David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:36 AM Thanks Kim, too funny.

Hilda Greenhough November 20, 2024 at 2:53 PM This limerick is badly funny. I laughed reading it. You have truly returned. You're truly king of limericks. David Fisher November 26, 2024 at 4:33 AM Thanks Hilda, glad you liked it.
